Jan 2013 — Present · Plymouth Meeting, PA, US
Iliad Neurosciences, Inc. was launched in 2013 to develop commercially viable biomarkers and diagnostics to identify and treat neurological diseases. Its’ first diagnostic product, termed FRAT™, screens for antibodies to the Folate Receptor A and is targeted towards children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, and those that have other neurological deficiencies. The company pursues research in Folate Receptor Antibodies and Folate Metabolism and the relation of each in various neurodevelopment disorders. Management is led by Boas Gonen, MD who has over 20 years of experience in R&D with Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Steven J. Adelman who is a seasoned pharmaceutical executive with over 20 years experience in drug discovery and therapeutic development, and Steve Tsetsekos who has over 20 years of experience in finance, private equity and venture capital including investing & developing biotechnology companies.Iliad\'s FRAT™ measures the presence of antibodies that interact (either block or bind) with the activity of the Folate Receptor A (FRA). FRA is responsible for the transport of folate - and its active component 5-MTHF which helps metabolize folate - into certain tissues, most notably the brain, placenta and ovary. These antibodies were detected in the blood of numerous individuals with disorders ranging from Cerebral Folate Deficiency, Autism Spectrum Disorders, sub-fertility in women, and pregnant women carrying fetuses with neural tube defects (NTD). Additionally, antibodies have been found in the parents of some children with ASD.
