Its pipeline targets Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and cognitive impairment following ischemic stroke. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the company operates in late-stage clinical development aimed at advancing brain health. In October 2020, AZTherapies announced the appointment of Marc de Garidel as Chief Executive Officer, while founder David R.
