He loves all things vision and believes in creating environments in which we can reach our potential to be disruptive originals. He’s one the co-founders of United Neuroscience and a member of its board of directors. The company is a global team united against chronic disease with leaders in neurology, immunology, drug development at the helm. United Neuroscience is passionate about democratizing helath and delivering science-driven innovation that is accessible for all. Lou’s work focuses on hacking the immune system. It’s critical work.In 2018—for the first time in human history—“what killed us was things that our body made inside rather than things that were harmful coming from outside,” Lou explains. “The exogenous is no longer the primary enemy, the endogenous is the primary enemy.” Specifically, chronic illness is now our No. 1 killer.Listen on to learn about the ground-breaking solutions Lou and his team are developoing.Enjoy the show!

Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death and it continues to rise. Today it is costing the U.S. healthcare system $200 billion a year and there are no therapies that prevent, halt, or reverse the disease's progression. United Neuroscience is taking a new approach to the disease with its endobody vaccines, a class of synthetic biologics it is developing to treat Alzheimer's and other CNS conditions. We spoke to Ajay Verma, chief medical officer of United Neurosciences, about Alzheimer's, the company's platform technology, and the promise of enlisting the immune system in the fight against CNS diseases.
