Mim Neurosciences is developing new treatments for neurodegenerative disease based on NAD biology
Mim Neurosciences is developing novel small molecules targeting NMNAT2; the neuron's most important enzyme for NAD synthesis. Situated within Karolinska Institutet and St. Erik Eye Hospital, we are ideally located to translate findings from bench-to-bedside.
