Bolden Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing first-in-class therapeutics to treat central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer’s and ischemic stroke. The company’s scientific founders have identified a key molecular pathway to stimulate neural stem cells to promote the birth of new neurons (neurogenesis) in the adult brain. In a proprietary mouse model Bolden has established a proof-of-concept of this approach to increase neurogenesis and enhance hippocampal-dependent memory. The company is actively developing antisense oligonucleotide and monoclonal antibody therapeutics to modulate this pathway.
