| NEURODEGENERATION IS AN AXONAL TRANSPORT DISEASE Axonal transport is responsible for: Normal Transport The Normal Flow and Speed of vesicles carrying BDNF across the axon. ▪ Neurotransmitters GABA (anxiety), ACh (cognition), dopamine (movement), serotonin (mood) ▪ Neurotrophic factors NGF, BDNF ▪ All communication within and between nerve cells “ Axonal transport disruption is linked to human neurological conditions. ” - Nature Review, September 2019 Abnormal Transport Shows the Blockage and Slowing of BDNF across the axon. Black areas demonstrate where transport is slowed due to high levels of neurotoxic proteins. TREATED WITH BUNTANETAP The Flow and Speed of axonal transport is improved.

He will serve as the Chairman of Annovis Bio’s SAB . Jeffrey Cummings, MD Dr . Cummings completed Neurology residency and a Fellowship in Behavioral Neurology at Boston University, Massachusetts . US training was followed by a Research Fellowship in Neuropathology and Neuropsychiatry at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, London, England . Dr . Cummings was formerly Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, Director of Alzheimer’s Disease Research and Director of the Center for Neurotherapeutics at UCLA . He was Director of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Cleveland and Florida . Gregory Petsko, PhD Dr . Petsko is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society . His research interests are directed towards understanding the biochemical bases of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS discovering treatments (especially by using structure - based drug design), that could therapeutically affect those biochemical targets, and seeing any resulting drug candidates tested in humans . He has also made key contributions to the field of protein crystallography . 22 |
