About Stephen Strittmatter

Stephen Strittmatter is the scientific founder of Allyx Therapeutics. He is also a director. Allyx develops oral small-molecule medicines that aim to protect synapses, the connections between brain cells, in neurodegenerative diseases. He holds the Vincent Coates professorship in neurology at Yale University. His research found that a targeted compound reversed the disease course in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease.
