Silo Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Columbia University pursuant to which Silo has been granted an extension for its option to license certain assets currently under development, including Alzheimer’s disease and Stress Induced Anxiety
“The first steps of our research with Columbia have been positive and we’re happy to extend this research and option pact to continue the progress of SPC-14 as an Alzheimer’s therapeutic and SPC-15 for Stress Induced Anxiety disorders,”
Eric Weisblum Chief Executive Officer of Silo Pharma, Inc
The extension to the agreement incorporates the work of Dr. Christine Ann Denny, an Associate Professor of Clinical Neurobiology (in Psychiatry) at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Denny and her team are focusing their efforts on the molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory, including diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated 5.8 million Americans, including one in ten people, age 65 and older, currently live with Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Denny’s pioneering research into whether ketamine and the novel inventions that may be licensed by Silo may improve memory retrieval, halt, or even reverse, the process of Alzheimer’s disease-related to memory loss or cognitive aging, could have life-altering implications for people suffering with everything from Alzheimer’s disease to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
On-going research studies are currently being conducted by Silo and we look forward to sharing these results as data becomes available.
