Tiaki is working to provide disease-modifying therapeutics that benefit patients with age-related dementias. Tiaki has developed a proprietary platform to reveal complex biological interactions of brain cells and drug targets to better enable the discovery and development of treatments for diseases of the CNS. In addition to collaborating with biotech and pharma partners, Tiaki is leveraging its platform technology to develop its own therapeutic programs. Tiaki was founded by the Dementia Discovery Fund (‘DDF’), a mission-driven venture capital fund at the forefront of therapeutics for the treatment of dementias.
