Taking a New Approach to Tackle Neurodegenerative Diseases

Oligomerics, a clinical stage biotechnology company, uses a differentiated approach to develop therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. They focus on tau protein inhibitors that can be administered orally and are cost-effective. Their lead candidate, Oligomerics' 07010, has shown promising results in reducing aggregated tau in animal models of neurodegeneration, leading to improved motor activity.
