LAUSANNE, Switzerland, March 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AC Immune SA (NASDAQ: ACIU), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that it will host a corporate update webinar on Wednesday, March 31st at 10:00 AM ET until 11:30 AM ET.
During the webinar, members of the AC Immune Management and Research and Development Teams will discuss the unique benefits of the Company’s innovative Morphomer™ technology platform, which accelerates the design, synthesis, and development of CNS-optimized, conformation-specific small molecules directed against pathological proteins. The platform has produced multiple clinically validated therapeutic and diagnostic candidates that bind selectively to target proteins intracellularly, at the earliest stages of disease.
The current Morphomer™ pipeline includes two clinical-stage diagnostic candidates (Tau-PET tracer and alpha-synuclein-PET tracer), and one therapeutic candidate that has completed Phase 1 (Morphomer™ Tau ACI-3024). Additional first-in-class Morphomer™-derived therapeutic and diagnostic candidates targeting Tau, alpha-synuclein, TDP-43 and NLRP3-ASC are in preclinical development. Together with the Company’s SupraAntigen™-derived therapeutic antibody and vaccine candidates, AC Immune’s comprehensive Morphomer™ pipeline enables a differentiated Precision Medicine approach against multiple key proteins by pairing the Company’s targeted therapeutics with proprietary companion diagnostics.
Following the formal presentations, there will be an interactive virtual roundtable discussion between the audience and the AC Immune Management and Research and Development Teams.
