Amorfix Life Sciences Ltd. announced that in addition to their own investment, the National Research Council Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) will share in the research and development of the company's proposed diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease, EP-AD(tm), via a contribution of $322,000.
The NRC-IRAP support will be focused on the extension of Amorfix's patent-pending Epitope Protection (EP) technology platform to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, using a standard blood sample. NRC-IRAP is a federal government program that provides a range of both technical and business oriented advisory services along with potential financial support to growth-oriented Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises.
