Summary
Cortexyme is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a novel disease-modifying therapeutic approach to treat and slow the progression of serious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens, such as gingipain-driven diseases.
History

Cortexyme was founded in 2012 with the goal of targeting a therapeutic approach to Alzheimer’s disease. After identifying Porphyromonas gingivalis as a potential trigger for the disease, Cortexyme’s mission evolved to develop treatments for gingipain-driven diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Cortexyme has since advanced a lead therapeutic candidate, COR388, into Phase 2 clinical trials.

Mission
Cortexyme’s mission is to discover, develop and commercialize novel medicines targeting gingipain-driven diseases in order to dramatically improve the lives of people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Vision
Cortexyme’s vision is to be the leader in the development of disease-modifying drugs for gingipain-driven diseases by providing meaningful treatments to people living with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
