Precision medicine for Alzheimer's disease

Right patient.
Right biology.
Better outcomes.

Precision-AD discovers biologically distinct forms of Alzheimer's disease—then turns those insights into targeted therapeutics, companion diagnostics, and smarter clinical trials.

01 — The premise

Alzheimer's is not one disease.
We shouldn't treat it like one.

Today's one-size-fits-all approach obscures the biology that determines who responds, who does not, and which therapeutic strategy belongs in which patient.

02 — Our platform

From human biology
to precision assets.

We integrate human multi-omic and clinical data to find the biology hidden inside an Alzheimer's diagnosis—then design the therapeutic and diagnostic paths together.

01⌁

Discover

Find reproducible, disease-relevant signals across harmonized genomics, proteomics, imaging, and clinical phenotypes.

  • Human-first evidence
  • Multi-cohort replication
02◎

Stratify

Resolve biologically coherent patient subgroups and the biomarkers that identify them.

  • Mechanistic subtypes
  • Response hypotheses
03

Translate

Advance targeted interventions, companion diagnostics, and enrichment strategies around the same biology.

  • Therapeutic programs
  • Trial-ready biomarkers

The difference

Designed to close
the translation gap.

01

Human evidence
at the center

Programs begin with disease biology observed in people—not a model looking for relevance.

02

Therapeutic + diagnostic
by design

We build the intervention and the patient-selection strategy as one translational system.

03

Value across the
development lifecycle

From target discovery through clinical enrichment, every layer sharpens the probability of success.

03 — Pipeline

A focused path
to patient impact.

Our lead programs extend beyond amyloid and tau to target fundamental biological drivers of Alzheimer's disease, backed by robust human evidence and offering a clear, actionable path to therapeutic intervention.
