AcuraStem - ALS drug discovery built directly in neurons derived from patients.

Most neurodegenerative research still starts in models that don’t reflect the biology of the people they’re meant to help. At AcuraStem, we take a different approach. Our iNeuroRX® platform uses patient-derived neurons to identify therapies grounded in human biology from the outset. That means fewer dead ends, and more meaningful progress for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Meet the team today at the 2025 ALS/MND conference in San Diego.
AcuraStem is on-site and ready to connect.

Traditional drug discovery often falls short because animal models can’t fully mirror human disease. AcuraStem is changing that by developing patient-derived models that reveal the true biology of neurodegeneration, paving the way for more effective treatments.
