Creating a world without dementia
Our therapeutic candidates are based on custom AI/ML-based algorithms and pipelines. By integrating computational intelligence with biological insights, our proprietary algorithms analyze and predict codon usage, structural stability, and translational efficiency. This ensures that each mRNA/protein sequence is tailored for maximum functionality, enhanced stability, and optimal expression in target systems.
For our novel therapeutic candidates, we capture intricate, single-cell phenotypic changes – from neurite arborization and synaptic puncta density to mitochondrial health and protein localization. This granular, quantitative analysis allows us to precisely evaluate neuroprotective efficacy and pinpoint subtle indicators of neurotoxicity, accelerating the design of targeted and safer treatments for neurological disorders.
We leverage iPSC-derived cellular models to validate our RNA/protein therapeutics for dementia. By differentiating iPSCs into disease-relevant neuronal subtypes, we assess the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of our RNA/protein candidates in a biologically relevant system. This enables precise optimization of RNA/protein designs for improved stability, efficacy, and translational potential in neurodegenerative disease models.
