About NeuroMedix:
NeuroMedix is a biotechnology company focused on the development of
therapeutic agents for the treatment of degenerative and inflammatory diseases
of the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain
injury, neuropathic pain, age-related macular degeneration and multiple
sclerosis. Our therapeutic drug candidates are based on research from a team
of leading experts in the field of neuroinflammation at Northwestern
University and have been demonstrated to reduce brain inflammation, to protect
neuronal cells, and to prevent the loss of cognitive function in an
Alzheimer's disease animal model in mice. Our lead candidate, Minozac has also
been shown to reduce inflammation and prevent loss of cognitive function in
mice suffering traumatic brain injury. Based on these findings, NeuroMedix is
pursuing the development of its lead compound for Alzheimer's disease and
traumatic brain injury in humans. NeuroMedix's shares are listed on the TSX
