10. What’s Next
• Focus on Dx opportunities (tau in addition to
amyloid)
• Better understand reimbursement
11. Next Steps…
• Review our recent preclinical data with KOLs,
pharma, and imaging companies to determine
additional needs
• Elucidate inflection points for them to endorse,
invest, and partner in early stage clinical studies
• establish budget for each
• Assess other AD diagnostics and treatments in
development
• Clarify and disseminate competitive advantages
of ADx
