INmuneBio's Cutting-Edge Approach to Treating Alzheimer's & Dementia

Listen Later

David Moss, Founder of InMuneBio

A brief history of Alzheimer's Disease:

  • 1906: Discovery of brain disease → later named Alzheimer's disease in 1910
  • 1976: Neurologist Robert Katzman identifies Alzheimer's as the most common cause of dementia and a public health challenge
  • 1983: Researchers George Glenner and Cai'ne Wong identify beta-amyloid, a key component of Alzheimer's brain plaques
  • 1986: Discovery of tau protein as a key component of tangles in Alzheimer's disease
  • 1987: First clinical trial and detection of the first inherited Alzheimer's gene
  • The 1990s: Establishment of a nationwide medical network for clinical research, the discovery of the first risk factor gene, and FDA approval of the first Alzheimer's drug
  • 2012: Launch of the first major clinical trial
  • 2013: Discovery of a new genetic risk factor
  • 2015: Higher-than-expected deaths from Alzheimer's
  • 2019: Initial signs of progress
  • 2021: FDA approves the first drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease after 115 years since the disease's discovery.

    • This history could be more encouraging, but thankfully, it's only part of the research picture. With me today is David Moss from InMuneBio, a research company looking at firing up the immune cells in our brains to help fight Alzheimer's. 

    InmuneBio has completed a stage one clinical trial with good results, which excites me to share their story with you.
