TauRx Pharmaceuticals Ltd is a biotechnology company focused on developing groundbreaking drugs for the management of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment.

TauRx was established to address one of the world’s biggest challenges – beating Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain disorders through a completely new approach. A leader in Alzheimer’s research, the company’s mission is to discover, develop and commercialise innovative products for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of neurodegenerative disorders.  

TauRx’s strong research team, supported through cooperative relationships with multiple academic institutions around the world, has focussed on the tau pathway, believed to be one of the critical causes of neurodegeneration in the brain. The company’s novel tau aggregation inhibitors (TAIs) target the formation of tau protein ‘tangles’ in the brain, with its lead compound having shown strong pharmacological effect in early trials for participants with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease. 

The experimental drug has shown to inhibit aggregation of tau, synuclein, TPD-43 and huntingtin proteins. It is currently in development for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, with a pivotal phase 3 clinical trial in progress and results recently disclosed. 

Additionally, TauRx works closely with joint venture company Genting TauRx Diagnostics Ltd (GTD) in the development of ground-breaking new diagnostic tools and blood tests for dementia, which will help transform the treatment pathway for those affected, ensure efficient and early diagnosis and enhance access to treatment and care.   

TauRx is incorporated in Singapore with primary research and operations in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Is there a link between brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease? 

Research* suggests that up to one third of patients with even a single episode of traumatic brain injury develop abnormal tau tangles, which can lead to the development of dementia.

#TauFact: Whilst tau is a healthy protein naturally found in our brains, it may also play a role in the development of dementia. 

This means tau is an important target for the development of a possible treatment. 

Understand more about the formation of damaging tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease below.

How well do you know tau? 

Today’s #TauFact takes us back to basics, explaining the function of tau protein and how it can misfold and lead to dementia.

#TheTimeForTauIsNow #Dementia #Alzheimers

The risk of dementia among professional footballers has been reported to be almost four times higher than the general population.  
 
A condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, is prevalent among former players of high-impact sports and shares many features with Alzheimer’s disease. CTE is also a tauopathy but sees tau proteins malfunction due to brain injury, whereas in Alzheimer’s these changes are often due to other factors linked to aging. 
  
Last year, our Head of Medical Affairs, Dr Sonya Miller, spoke to Psychiatric Times to discuss how possible breakthroughs in treatments for Alzheimer’s could hold the key to a treatment for generations of sports people with CTE as well. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3CpS2JK

It’s the TauRx mission to develop and commercialise products to treat and diagnose the neurodegenerative diseases caused when the tau protein found naturally in our brains misfolds and aggregates.

Hear from our leadership team on how we’re working to achieve this in the video below and learn more about our work: www.taurx.com

Yesterday, Prof. Linda Sommerlade, Dr Sonya Miller, and Jeffrey LaVaute participated in a panel discussion moderated by Jim Pearson, Deputy Chief Executive from Alzheimer Scotland. 

The panel, “Using the patient and caregiver voice to improve our understanding of their experiences living with Alzheimer’s disease” covered important learnings from TauRx and GT Diagnostics’ patient engagement work in Alzheimer’s.
