Remynd

reMYND is a clinical stage company developing novel treatments for Alzheimer's, diabetes, epilepsy and other diseases caused by cellular dysfunction. It is backed by a proprietary drug discovery platform, which enables the identification of novel mechanisms-of-action, targets and first-in-class small molecules. reMYND's most advanced program is ReS... 19-T, an investigational compound for the treatment of Alzheimer's, which entered the clinic in Q4 2002. In animal models it has shown to produce an acute response, restoring synaptic plasticity, a process central in the disease cascade leading to neuronal demise and build-up of plaques and tangles. The company is also developing a treatment for diabetes, ReS39. Animal models have demonstrated the compound's efficacy to increase endogenous insulin production capacity with a sustained and durable effect on blood glucose levels and end-organ protection. Other treatments for major health challenges are being explored using reMYND's discovery platform, with a focus on mitochondrial dysfunction in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In addition, reMYND has a dedicated Contract Research Organization (CRO), which focuses on CNS disorders. The team helps clients to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of their experimental treatments in reMYND's proprietary animal models. The CRO has a global client base, including the US, Europe and Japan. reMYND was founded in 2002 as a spin-off from the University of Leuven, and has been substantially supported by grants from VLAIO/IWT (Flanders, Belgium).Read More
