Executive Summary
A biotech start-up seeking to establish itself in the area of Alzheimer's disease (AD) faces the daunting task of competing in an arena already populated by a contingent of large drug companies that are expending considerable resources in the hopes of developing the sort of blockbuster product with which Big Pharma is so obsessed. But Peter Reiner, VMD, PhD, president and CEO of Active Pass Pharmaceuticals Inc., argues that his company can carve a niche for itself with a novel technology for treating AD that may also provide a platform for developing therapeutics in a number of other major disease areas.
