Exciting news from AltPep today! Carolyn Tallon, Ph,D., one of our Principal Scientists, is presenting data at the 2025 AAIC meeting in Toronto, Canada, demonstrating that AltPep’s custom-designed peptide (SOBIN-AD) for Alzheimer’s disease, increases clearance of Aβ toxic oligomers and inhibits plaque formation. In addition, highly selective targeting in a Tg AD mouse model improved short-term memory and reduced plaque burden. These exciting data mark a major milestone for SOBIN-AD and bring hope for early treatment of Alzheimer’s disease! #Alzheimers #Research #Alzscience https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gug9isQ9

About us
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.

Fascinating new data from Valerie Daggett’s lab at University of Washington, recently published in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, demonstrates a gauze containing α-sheet peptide inhibits bacteria biofilms. This exciting advance has potential application for wound care by stopping resistant infections and making current antibiotics more effective. As the world faces an increasing threat from antibiotic resistance, and as the development of traditional antibiotics declines, there is a tremendous need for promising new approaches, like this one.

AltPep will be in San Francisco during #JPM25. Reach out if you would like to learn about AltPep’s novel target in amyloid diseases: toxic oligomers. We are developing therapeutic and diagnostic candidates for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s based on this target, with AD clinical trials to start next year. For our colleagues conducting AD clinical trials, our diagnostic could also be of interest to test and monitor toxic oligomers in patient plasma samples. Reach out to the team to learn more Denis Sirringhaus #AlzheimersDisease #Research #ParkinsonsDisease
