THE CHALLENGE
Why Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) treatment needs new approaches
Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 55 million people worldwide and generate over $360B in annual healthcare costs, yet progress remains limited. Despite more than $42B invested across 200+ clinical trials, only modest clinical benefit has been achieved to date.
Key barriers remain:
Poor translation from animal models to humans
Over-focus on downstream pathology
Limited innovation in tau-driven disease biology
