👏🏽 We are happy to welcome Hui Zhang as a BioTech Entrepreneur Fellow at the Universität Zürich! 💡 Hui and her team are developing a pan-amyloid therapeutic aimed at tackling protein misfolding disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and peripheral amyloidosis. Unlike current treatments that target only one type of protein, this novel drug can bind to multiple toxic protein aggregates, stabilize them, and even remove existing deposits by enhancing the body’s immune response. The potential impact? Slowing disease progression and improving the lives of those affected by these devastating conditions. ➡️ Learn more about Hui's project here: https://lnkd.in/d4zu4ir8
