Company Summary
Cognigenics is leveraging the power of CRISPR to enhance human cognitive performance. Our first priority is assisting our aging population in maintaining mental acuity by producing a safe and effective treatment for Alzheimer’s symptoms which sharpens clarity, focus and attention. After demonstrating efficacy on Alzheimer’s, our technology will be applied to treating other neurological disorders, such as anxiety, stress, ADD and PTSD.
