Psychiatry and oncology-related depression
Research activity includes studies in major depressive disorder, with a focus on depressive symptoms in people affected by cancer. The sponsor also supports work involving psilocybin for cancer-related depression.
- Major depressive disorder
- Cancer-related depression
- Psilocybin
Interest in this area extends to symptom relief and mental health outcomes in patients with serious medical illness.
Pain and fibromyalgia
The sponsor funds research in fibromyalgia, particularly autoantibody-mediated disease and chronic pain management. This includes clinical interest in reducing daily pain burden and understanding immune-linked pain conditions.
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic pain
- Autoantibody-mediated disease
These studies reflect a therapeutic focus on pain syndromes with possible inflammatory or immune mechanisms.
Metabolic disease and vaccinology
Clinical research activity covers obesity and type 2 diabetes, alongside studies of immune response to influenza vaccination in people with excess body weight. The sponsor’s portfolio also includes work on vaccine immunogenicity and protective antibody responses.
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Influenza vaccination
Additional interest lies in how metabolic status influences vaccine-induced immunity.
Neurology and neurodegenerative disease
The sponsor supports trials in Parkinson’s disease, with attention to disease progression, motor symptoms, and biologic pathways in the brain. Research also includes treatment-related effects relevant to long-term neurological care.
- Parkinson’s disease
- Motor symptoms
- Neurodegeneration
This area reflects a strong interest in therapies that address both symptomatic control and progression of neurological disease.
Infectious diseases and neuroinflammation
Current research includes influenza and tick-borne encephalitis, with emphasis on immune protection and neurological injury during viral infection. The sponsor also studies antiviral treatment in TBE and related markers of neuronal damage.
- Influenza
- Tick-borne encephalitis
- Neuronal injury
These studies span prevention and treatment questions in viral illness with neurological complications.
