Amorfix is an emerging theranostics company focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, where aggregated misfolded proteins (AMP) are prevalent. These include Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and the human form variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), as well as degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The company was formed in January 2004 to commercialize the discoveries of the epitope protection (EP) technologies at the University of Toronto discovered by Drs. Neil Cashman and Marty Lehto. These discoveries position the company to become the world authority on AMP ( www.amorfix.com )
