Acumen is forging a new path towards safe and effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases through our focus on the biology of toxic soluble amyloid-beta oligomers. Our founders pioneered seminal discoveries and methods to understand the role of toxic amyloid-beta oligomers (Aβo) in synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. These early insights have fostered decades of research on the biology of Aβo at Acumen and throughout the field. We are now on the on cusp of realizing the therapeutic potential of Aβo targeted drugs.
