About Us

Alzamend Neuro®, Inc., (“Alzamend®”), a Delaware corporation with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia with nexus in California, is a clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company. At Alzamend, we are committed to “Making Alzheimer’s Just a Memory™.” Our mission is to rapidly develop and market safe and effective treatments. We are driven by the belief that strong support of research is the foundation for true innovation and uniquely position us to understand and effectively address the unmet needs of the patients we serve. Alzamend strives to provide hope through the commercialization of existing patented intellectual properties and know-how while simultaneously funding future treatments for other neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, through advanced research and development.

Our current pipeline consists of two novel therapeutic drug candidates, AL001 – a patented ionic cocrystal technology delivering lithium via a therapeutic combination of lithium, proline and salicylate, and AL002 – a patented method using a mutant-peptide sensitized cell as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that seeks to restore the ability of a patient’s immunological system to combat Alzheimer’s. Both of our product candidates are licensed from the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. pursuant to royalty-bearing exclusive worldwide licenses.

Our primary target, Alzheimer’s disease, was among the most-feared diseases (second only to cancer) among Americans, according to a 2011 survey by the Harvard School of Public Health. Alzheimer’s is also the sixth leading cause of death in the United States according to a 2021 report from the Alzheimer’s Association, a nonprofit that funds research. Existing Alzheimer’s treatments only temporarily relieve symptoms but do not slow or halt the underlying worsening of the disease, which currently affects roughly 6.2 million Americans and that number is expected to grow to 13 million individuals by 2050. Alzheimer’s also impacts more than 11 million Americans who provide an estimated 15.3 billion hours of unpaid care per year, valued at $257 billion, according to data provided by the Alzheimer’s Association. In 2021, the estimated healthcare costs for treating individuals with Alzheimer’s in the United States will be $355 billion, including $239 billion in Medicare and Medicaid payments. These costs could rise to as high as $1.1 trillion per year by 2050 if no permanent treatment or cure for Alzheimer’s is found, the Alzheimer’s Association reported.
