The new addition to the Anavex Scientific Advisory Board is very impressive! And is clearly very impressed by 2-73!
" The main focus of Prof. Dr. Grimmer’s research is assessing the usefulness of biomarkers in predicting neurocognitive disorders. He has authored numerous peer reviewed articles, amongst others the first studies that assessed the utility of amyloid PET for differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and to track Alzheimer’s disease progression. In addition, he has served as a national coordinating investigator and as a principal investigator in more than 70 drug trials including all monoclonal antibodies against cerebral amyloid load.
“I’m excited to join Anavex’s Scientific Advisory Board at this time of important growth and evolution of the Company,” said Professor Dr. Grimmer. “There is such a significant unmet medical need around the globe caused by Alzheimer’s disease and patients in the Phase 2b/3 ANAVEX®2-73-AD-004 study performed better even after a year despite the progression of this devastating disease. It would be groundbreaking for patients and their loved ones if healthcare professionals are able to provide a therapeutic which can be taken orally and is generally safe, which the study indicates, ANAVEX®2-73 (blarcamesine) is a likely candidate.”
