- Professor Lars Lannfelt founded BioArctic together with Pär Gellerfors in 2003 to develop an antibody treatment based on Lannfelt's groundbreaking discoveries of the role of amyloid-beta protein in Alzheimer's disease.
- By binding to specific forms of amyloid-beta, which causes Alzheimer's disease, lecanemab helps to clear them from the brain, thereby altering the course of the disease.
- La Fondation Recherche Alzheimer was founded in 2004 and aims to improve the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and pave the way for effective treatments.
