AltPep develops diagnostic and therapeutic programs based on a library of custom designed synthetic peptides. The company targets early molecular triggers of amyloid diseases.

AltPep

AltPep develops early disease-modifying treatments and detection tools for amyloid diseases by targeting one of the earliest molecular triggers – toxic soluble oligomers.  These oligomers are associated with many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and type 2 diabetes. Decades of scientific research by the Daggett Research Group culminated in the discovery of a novel protein structure, alpha-sheet, the foundation of our innovative approach.

Our lead program aims to identify Alzheimer’s Disease long before symptoms occur and then neutralize the toxic soluble oligomers associated with the disease.

We are excited to welcome Denis Sirringhaus to the AltPep team as Vice President of Business Development. Denis most recently served as Executive Director of Business Development at Caribou Biosciences, where he helped secure a $25M Pfizer investment that led to a $134.6M follow-on offering. Prior to Caribou, Denis worked in Business Development at several biopharma companies, including Gossamer Bio and Genentech/Roche where he evaluated neuroscience assets including the in-license of Enspryng and the acquisition of Spark Therapeutics. He started his career at JPMorgan on the Specialty Pharma equity research team. Denis has an MBA from Wharton, a Master’s of Biotech from University of Pennsylvania and an AB in Biological Sciences from Harvard. 

Denis’ experience is ideally suited to help foster the partnerships needed for AltPep to realize its goal of transforming the treatment and detection of amyloid diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Denis!
