Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent dementia, characterized by progressive loss of memory. An estimated 230,000 Australians currently suffer from AD, causing a huge impact on their families and carers, as well as on national finances. The present therapies are very limited, and there is no cure. Thus, there is a need for novel treatment strategies. We have developed novel drugs that represent an innovative approach to the treatment of AD.

阿尔茨海默病（Alzheimer's disease，AD）是最常见的痴呆，其特征在于进行性记忆丧失。据估计，目前有23万澳大利亚人患有AD，对他们的家庭和照顾者以及国家财政造成巨大影响。目前的治疗方法非常有限，而且无法治愈。因此，需要新的治疗策略。我们已经开发出代表治疗AD的创新方法的新药。
