Profile
Develops neurodegenerative-disease therapies around Alector Brain Carrier, with current work in ABC-enabled antibodies, enzymes, and siRNA. The business has no approved products and depends on collaboration funding, clinical progress, and competition in blood-brain-barrier delivery.
Develops therapies for neurodegenerative disease around Alector Brain Carrier, a blood-brain-barrier delivery platform for antibodies, enzymes, and siRNA. Current ABC-enabled programs include AL037/AL137-ABC in Alzheimer's disease, AL050-ABC in GCase-linked disorders, and AL064/AL164-ABC in tauopathies.
Operates as a one-segment, South San Francisco biotech with no approved products. Revenue comes from collaborations and financing rather than product sales, with GSK and a prior AbbVie alliance shaping the funding history.
Recent late-stage progranulin setbacks reset the portfolio toward wholly owned preclinical and research programs. Execution depends on IND-enabling work, trial progress, and competition with other blood-brain-barrier delivery platforms.
