Speaking on May 20th, Prof. Andrea Pfeifer, Ph.D., CEO of AC Immune SA, will outline the cutting-edge science behind AC Immune’s therapeutic and diagnostic programs in TDP-43 and alpha-synuclein – which are amongst the most comprehensive in the field. Both targets are considered to be major pathologies in neurodegenerative diseases, and increasingly thought to be important co-pathologies in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. This highlights the need for the precision medicine approach pioneered by AC Immune to achieve earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
In addition to the Company’s TDP-43 and alpha-synuclein targeting programs, the presentation will also detail advances for the clinical stage assets addressing the well-established pathophysiology mediated by Tau and Abeta. The critical role of the Company’s two proprietary platforms, SupraAntigen and Morphomer, in fueling advances for antibodies and small molecules, respectively, will also be highlighted.
