About Amorfix
Amorfix Life Sciences Ltd. (TSX:AMF) is an early-stage
product development company developing therapeutic
antibodies and diagnostics targeting misfolded protein
diseases. Amorfix utilizes its computational discovery
platform, ProMIS™, to predict novel Disease Specific
Epitopes (DSEs) on the molecular surface of misfolded
proteins. Using this technology, Amorfix is developing
novel antibody therapeutics and companion diagnostics for
cancer and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In
addition, Amorfix has developed two proprietary
technologies to specifically identify very low levels of
misfolded proteins in a biological sample: Epitope
Protection™ and AMFIA™, an ultra-sensitive dual-bead
immunoassay. Use of these technologies has generated a
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) screening test for Alzheimer's
disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and an
ultrasensitive method for detecting the hallmark of AD,
aggregated beta-Amyloid, in brain tissue, CSF and blood
from animal models of AD. For more information about
