Description:
Anti-Alzheimer's Drug Discovery & Development Using Real Brain Cells
We are Harvard neurobiologists who invented the very first high-content drug-screening system using real brain cells. This proprietary platform is powerful, effective and most importantly, the only one available in the world. We have used it and identified multiple prospective anti-Alzheimer's compounds capable of enhancing the growth and connectivity of brain cells in vitro. We founded Neurox Pharmaceuticals Inc. ((URL removed)) to further develop these drugs.
Alzheimer’s is an irreversible brain disease that slowly kills brain cells and destroys learning and memory. It is a growing threat that afflicts 35 million people worldwide. There is currently no cure. Neurox aims to develop neuronal growth-enhancing drug compounds and supplements that can restore the growth and health of disease brain cells.
