Oligomerix Relocates Corporate Headquarters To Valhalla, New York

01/14/2014
Oligomerix, Inc., a privately held company pioneering the development of disease modifying therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders, relocated its corporate headquarters to Valhalla, New York, and expanded its lease agreement for additional laboratory space at New York Medical College.

The new facilities will advance compounds in development and provide expanded space for a growing management and clinical team, the company said.

Oligomerix, which is focused on the development of small molecule drugs aimed specifically at inhibiting tau aggregation at the earliest steps of tau self-association into toxic oligomers in neurons, has continued to successfully advance its research, resulting in the need to add staff and expand its office and lab space.

"We're extremely encouraged by the preclinical data we've observed in our lead small molecule program, and are eager to continue our research in this space," stated James Moe, Ph.D., MBA, President and CEO of Oligomerix. "As New York Medical College is already providing space for in vivo mouse studies for our lead compound, we believe the decision to move and expand Oligomerix's corporate headquarters will benefit the company's logistical needs."

Oligomerix recently announced the appointment of James Hendrix, Ph.D., as the company's Senior Director of Chemistry, and plans to potentially recruit up to five employees in 2014.
