About Us

Our Mission

We are a clinical stage biotech company committed to protecting patients’ brain health and changing outcomes for a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases through best-in-class diagnostic tools and novel therapies.

Our name, APRINOIA, merges the Latin word for sunlight, “apricum,” with the Greek suffix for the mind, “noia.” Our name reflects our mission—to shed light on ways to better diagnose and treat these dreaded neurodegenerative disorders with a vision that these novel diagnostic tools together with targeted therapies will offer a better future for our patients.
