November Momentum: Presenting at ALS/MND Symposium, Joining NVIDIA Inception, and Advancing R&D


Canurta Therapeutics to Showcase Research at the International Symposium on ALS/MND


Canurta Therapeutics will present our latest research at the 35th International Symposium on ALS/MND on December 7, 2024, in Montreal. Hosted by the Motor Neuron Disease Association, this event is the largest global conference dedicated to ALS/MND research.


Our poster presentation, "IVV-40: Therapeutic Potential of Cannabis-Derived Formulations in Mitigating Motor Neuron Disease," outlining the progress of our CNR-400s botanical formulations. These findings showcase their potential to enhance motor function and restore neuronal health in models of ALS and frontotemporal dementia.


Explore our abstract under Theme 04, page 22 and learn more about how CNR-400s may redefine therapeutic approaches to ALS.




CEO Akeem Gardner at the CB1, CB2 & Cannabinoid Drug Development Summit


Canurta’s CEO, Akeem Gardner, was honored to speak at the 7th Annual CB1, CB2 & Cannabinoid Drug Development Summit from November 18-20, 2024, in Boston. Akeem’s presentation, “Evolving Cannabinoid Drug Development: Next-Generation Multi-Target Therapeutics,” explored innovative therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative conditions like ALS.


He detailed Canurta's advancements in combining cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to develop multi-target therapies and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AI for enhanced drug discovery.


Presenting at the Life Sciences Investor Forum
