The Company announced that in collaboration with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health and Merck Millipore, the completion of the large, 1,000 sample Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) biomarker validation study.

It is currently estimated that 60% of people with AD have not been properly diagnosed and therefore are not being given vital drugs and care. The capability to distinguish between the levels and progression of the disease will enable drug developers to substantially improve patient care and people with mild cognitive impairment are likely to benefit the most from such disease-modifying drugs.
