For instance, organizations like Florida Department of Health, the National Institute of Health, and Alzheimer’s Association in partnership with other private and government organizations provide funds to the research centers.
The presence of various pipeline drugs is anticipated to provide the market with potential growth opportunities. For instance, LMTX by TauRx Pharmaceutical Ltd.; idalopirdine (Lu AE58054) by Lundbeck; crenezumab by AC Immune SA; and BAN2401 by Eisai
