About Us
TauRx was established to address one of the world’s biggest challenges – beating Alzheimer’s disease and other degenerative brain disorders through a completely new approach.

Our strong research team, supported through cooperative relationships with multiple academic institutions around the world, has focussed on the tau pathway. Our novel tau aggregation inhibitors (TAIs) target the formation of tau protein ‘tangles’ in the brain, with our lead compound having shown a strong pharmacological effect in early trials.
