Acurex Biosciences is a biotechnology research company based in San Carlos, California. Its mission is to develop therapeutics that slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases rather than simply alleviate symptoms. The companyโs platform and founding intellectual property are rooted in a Stanford University breakthrough that identifies druggable targets linked to biomarker changes in Parkinsonโs disease. From this foundation, Acurex has advanced two oral small-molecule programs that cross the blood-brain barrier and protect neurons derived from Parkinsonโs patients. The lead program has begun IND-enabling studies, while a second program targeting a distinct target is in lead development. As a smaller biotechnology firm, it operates within the biotechnology research sector focused on disease-modifying approaches for Parkinsonโs disease.
