Harnessing the power of microglia to transform treatments for neurodegenerative diseases
About us
Vigil Neuroscience is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for both rare and common neurodegenerative diseases by restoring the vigilance of microglia, the sentinel immune cells of the brain. We are utilizing the tools of modern neuroscience drug development across multiple therapeutic modalities in our efforts to develop precision-based therapies to improve the lives of patients and their families. VGL101, our lead clinical candidate, is a fully human monoclonal antibody agonist targeting human triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in people with adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease. We are also developing VG-3927, a novel small molecule TREM2 agonist, to treat common neurodegenerative diseases associated with microglial dysfunction, with an initial focus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in genetically defined subpopulations.

#ICYMI - In July, a peer-reviewed research publication reported new data on the prevalence and clinical significance of CSF1R gene variants in the UK population. Based on these new data, we now estimate the U.S. prevalence of ALSP is approximately 19,000 while the estimated combined EU and UK prevalence is approximately 29,000 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gwWiWX-M #ShineALightOnLeukodystrophy #LeukodystrophyAwareness #VigilantForYou

The Vigil Team is proud to recognize August as Intersectionality Awareness Month! We encourage you to check out PhD Molecular Biologist Shawntel Okonkwo’s TEDx talk on how to appreciate, integrate, and act upon a quote that has become her mantra: “there is no such thing as a single-issue struggle as we don’t live single-issue lives.” #Intersectionality #VigilantForYou
