Enigma Biomedical Group Signs Research Agreement with Austin Health

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enigma Biomedical Group today announced a clinical research agreement
with Austin Health in Melbourne, Australia to support multiple projects
over the next several years. These research projects are for studies of
an early stage imaging agent (MK-6240) to be used in Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) scans for assessing the status and progression of
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. NFTs made up of aggregated
tau protein are a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases,
including Alzheimer’s disease.

As part of the agreement, Enigma will provide funding for various
research projects, and through its US entity Cerveau Technologies, Inc.,
will supply the MK-6240 precursor needed for the initiatives.

Lee Anne Gibbs, President of Enigma Biomedical Group said, “We are
excited to partner with Austin Health. This is an important step in
beginning a long-term relationship with Austin Health and a significant
step towards establishing an international network to facilitate
adoption of our technology and strategic initiatives.”

Professor Christopher Rowe, Director of Molecular Imaging Research said,
“These research projects will provide valuable insight into the status
and progression of NFTs in healthy subjects, subjects with mild
cognitive impairment and confirmed Alzheimer’s Disease. We appreciate
the support of Enigma Biomedical Group and value our ongoing
relationship.”

“At Cerveau, we are focused on providing information and technologies to
researchers and clinicians to improve brain health,” said Rick Hiatt,
President of Cerveau Technologies, Inc., and CEO of Enigma Biomedical
Group, “We are excited by the opportunity to work with Austin Health in
providing access to this novel imaging agent to the broader scientific
community and in continuing our past working relationship with Prof.
Rowe and Austin Health.”
