Paul Aisen is in fact on Anavex's SAB (to answer your rhetorical question). Here is the information posted on Anavex's SAB listing to refresh our memories.

Paul Aisen, MD
A clinical expert on the Anavex Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Aisen is a leading clinician and researcher in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials and is founding director of the University of Southern California (USC) Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute in San Diego. Previously, he was on the faculty of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine’s Department of Neurosciences. His primary research interests focus on the development of new strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Since 2007, Dr. Aisen has been Director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study, a consortium funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to develop assessment instruments and conduct clinical trials.

He has published more than 180 peer-reviewed papers.

Leading Alzheimer's disease researchers and a prominent patient advocate today published an analysis, "Single Endpoint for New Drug Approvals for Alzheimer's Disease," urging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to clarify and modernize its current approach for approving new treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
