Partnerships & Strategic Collaborations

Logo: UCB Partners

Neuropore Therapies, Inc. and UCB entered into a collaborative partnership in 2015 for the clinical development of NPT200-11 as a disease modifying treatment option for people living with Parkinson's disease. UCB is a global biopharma focused on severe diseases with operations in approximately 40 countries.

 


Neuropore Therapies, Inc.
and BenevolentAI® completed a collaboration in 2019 to evaluate molecular targets implicated in progressive degenerative diseases which were identified through artificial intelligence. The collaboration aims to discover small molecule therapeutics for multiple AI-identified molecular targets using Neuropore’s Autophagy Platform. 

Foundations & Academic Institutions

The Michael J. Fox Foundation currently supports the Neuropore TLR2 antagonist program, aimed at reducing pathogenic neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. The 2017 and 2018 grant awards are in support of in vitro and in vivo activities essential for the development and advancement small molecule TLR2 antagonists. Additionally, the Michael J. Fox Foundation has supported the pre-clinical development of NPT200-11, our alpha synuclein misfolding inhibitor program now partnered with UCB Pharmaceuticals, which currently is in clinical development as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson’s disease. We thank the Foundation for their continued support of Neuropore programs focused on mitigating the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
