Products

Amyloid-β DNA vaccine candidate

Plasmid-based vaccine candidate encoding amyloid-β epitope(s) intended to induce anti-amyloid antibody responses for preventive administration in at-risk populations.

Tau recombinant protein vaccine candidate

Recombinant protein vaccine targeting tau epitopes formulated with a potent adjuvant to generate anti-tau antibodies and evaluated in preclinical and early clinical studies.

Combined amyloid-β / tau recombinant vaccine candidate

Combined recombinant protein approach targeting both amyloid-β and tau epitopes to induce antibodies against multiple pathological targets concurrently.

α-Synuclein vaccine candidates (DNA and recombinant protein)

Vaccine designs targeting multiple B-cell epitopes of pathological α-synuclein available in DNA and recombinant protein formats and evaluated in preclinical models to reduce pathological burden and motor deficits.

mRNA vaccine candidate targeting amyloid-β

mRNA-format vaccine candidate encoding amyloid-β epitope(s) intended for preventive immunization and evaluated as part of a multi-modality development strategy.
