CMS Medical Venture Investment (HK) LimitedCMS Medical Venture Investment (HK) Limited is the Hong Kong corporate investment-holding vehicle named as an actual shareholder and investor in healthcare and life-science companies. It is distinct from Cayman-incorporated China Medical System Holdings Limited, the group’s operating and listed parent, and from similarly named BVI and Singapore companies. A2019 joint SEC Schedule13D and2022 Gelesis Schedule13G confirm the Hong Kong vehicle as a wholly owned CMS subsidiary and direct holder of investments; indirect parent beneficial ownership is not a second paid check. The 2019 filing identifies its principal business address as Unit2106,21/F, IslandPlaceTower,510King’sRoad,NorthPoint,HongKong. Its published subsidiary governance comprises two named directors, LamKong and HuaizhengPeng, historically confirmed2019; Peng additionally signs its2022 filing as director. The current CMS group biographies independently identify Lam as group founder/chairman/chief executive and Peng as chief business officer, but those current parent positions are not asserted as new current subsidiary operating roles. This record uses authentic CMS group branding with explicit parent-brand qualification because no independently branded subsidiary logo or dedicated subsidiary site was located. A&B(HK)CompanyLimited and its BVI parent are separate investment entities associated with LamKong; they are not CMSHK aliases or automatically wholly owned CMS subsidiaries. In2019 CMSHK and A&BHK each independently paid approximately GBP4M for Midatech shares/warrants from their own working capital. The parent and Lam made no direct purchases in that transaction, and commercial licensing milestones are not equity cash. Midatech and Gelesis are historical portfolio evidence; historical holdings do not prove current ownership or a new financing. Actual2018 Acticor SeriesB participation is sourced by issuer release and linked separately, with individual check unknown. Acticor entered judicial liquidation in January2025; no clinical efficacy or current operation is implied by this historical investment. Corporate paid-up share capital, group AUM and partner license capacity are not LP fund closes. No pooled external fund vehicles, independent subsidiary staff directory or exact current subsidiary directors’ tenure were disclosed in the reviewed sources.
Huaizheng PengHuaizheng Peng, styled Peng Huaizheng in the CMS directory, is China Medical System’s published chief business officer. After serving as an independent non-executive director from May2010 to October2013, he continued working with the group. His prior career includes life-science investment roles in UK and Canadian financial firms. He earned clinical-medicine degrees at Hunan Medical College in1984 and1989 and a molecular-pathology doctorate at UniversityCollegeLondon in1998, and taught histopathology there. SEC2019 separately names him director of the HongKong investment vehicle and chief executive of distinct A&BHK; he signs CMSHK’s2022 Gelesis filing as director. Those dated subsidiary roles are not inferred from his present parent-group title.
Lam KongLam Kong founded China Medical System and is identified in its own current directory as chairman, chief executive and president. He directs the group’s development strategy and has a medical and pharmaceutical-commercial background. He studied clinical medicine at Zhanjiang Medical College, graduating in1986. SEC2019 identifies him separately as director of CMS Medical Venture Investment(HK), and sole director/indirect owner of the distinct A&B corporate investment entities. Subsidiary roles are source-qualified historical; no personal investment check is inferred from control of corporate buyers.

gMendelgMendel is a Copenhagen genetic-diagnostics and medical-software company, legally gMendel ApS, Danish CVR41505524. Founded in2020 by Chris (registered Christos) Kyriakidis, Zoran Velkoski and Hanna Pyokari, it develops Phivea and Test-SCAN software combining genomic sequencing, AI and machine learning to support screening and diagnosis of genetic and rare disorders, including neurological conditions. Its current directory identifies nine executives and advisers; earlier2022–2023 professional and board affiliations are separately dated. The company reports Danish registration and CE marking of Phivea v1 under the former EU IVDD; this audit independently verified its legal company in the Danish Medicines Agency register, not an individual product certificate or FDA approval. Its genuine LRQA ISO13485:2016 certificate, issued June11,2026 and expiring June10,2029, covers design, development and service of in-vitro-diagnostic medical-device software: a quality-system certification, not a treatment approval or independent proof of diagnostic performance. Business roadmaps and expansion pilots are distinguished from clinical-trial phases and commercial revenue. A completed DKK9M seed round announced April16,2026 was led by Metavallon VC. Earlier disclosures identify approximate2022 angel funding,2023 CVX-network backing and limited2025 financing from iFutura and Quaternity; amounts, exact payment dates and underlying instruments are not invented.

Chris KyriakidisChris Kyriakidis is gMendel’s CEO and co-founder. He holds a doctorate, a master’s in physics and an MBA, with earlier international healthcare experience at Novo Nordisk and GN. The signed company annual report and LRQA certificate identify the same executive as Christos Kyriakidis. Quaternity ApS’s signed2025 annual statements also identify him under his legal name Christos Kyriakidis as its director; the June25,2026 signature is evidence of that documented governance position, not an inferred personal financing allocation.

Neurosoft BioelectronicsNeurosoft Bioelectronics is an EPFL spin-off developing soft, stretchable brain-computer interfaces that rest on the cortical surface without penetrating brain tissue. Its electrodes record and stimulate neural activity while conforming to the brain. SOFT ECoG is designed for intraoperative and short-term subdural recording and stimulation, including epilepsy surgery mapping. MINDZ is a folded electrode interface intended for deployment through a small skull opening, initially to help localize drug-resistant epileptic activity. Its development programmes also include SOFT TINNIT, an implantable closed-loop neuromodulation system for severe tinnitus, and Synapsuit, which combines neural decoding with a wearable exosuit for people with impaired arm and hand movement. The company is developing AI models for decoding cortical signals and discovering neurological biomarkers. Headquartered in Geneva with a US subsidiary in New York, it operates a Swiss medical-device production line and holds ISO 13485 certification. In May 2026 it reported testing its interfaces in ten patients across ongoing studies at UTHealth Houston and UMC Utrecht. Its brain interfaces remain investigational and are not yet available for sale in the United States or Europe.

Droia VenturesDroia Ventures is a specialist biotechnology investment and company-building group focused on therapeutics for oncology and genetic diseases. It invests globally in young drug developers and uses in-house biology, translational research and clinical-development experience to help companies progress toward clinical proof of concept. Its public legal/contact footer distinguishes Droia SA in Luxembourg, the Belgian Droia Ventures office in Zaventem, and Metaptys NV / Droia Labs in Leuven. Droia Labs is the group’s scientific validation arm rather than a separately attributed financing buyer. Current own portfolio exposure includes ALS precision medicines at QurAlis, neurodegeneration at Muna Therapeutics, rare genetic neurodevelopmental conditions at Mahzi, neuroinflammation at Montis and neuroscience-related kinase programmes at Alesta. These are development mandates rather than proven clinical outcomes. The public directory lists33 investment, operating, laboratory and advisory people with their functions explicitly scoped. Its own final-close announcements verify EUR150M for the second oncology fund in December2018 and EUR220M for Droia Genetic Disease, the third fund, in May2021. Droia I is established by the second-fund announcement but its cash size and exact close date are undisclosed.

QurAlisQurAlis Corporation is a Cambridge, Massachusetts biotechnology company developing precision medicines for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Its research combines disease genetics, patient-derived stem-cell models and biomarkers with small-molecule and antisense oligonucleotide therapies. Its FlexASO platform develops splice-modulating antisense compounds; clinical programmes include QRL-201 and QRL-101. The company is relevant to neuroscience and advanced biotechnology; no unsupported artificial-intelligence claim is made. The current own team page, modified September9,2026, publishes seven executives, nine board members, eight scientific advisers and five clinical advisers, representing28 distinct people. Kasper Roet serves as CEO and board member; Kevin Eggan and Clifford Woolf also have explicit founder affiliations. An obsolete hidden Jinsy Andrews modal is not treated as current roster membership. Manoj Malhotra is the current CMO, superseding older Doug Williamson announcements. One published adviser modal incorrectly reuses Manoj’s photo; Ammar Al-Chalabi’s authentic original portrait is instead verified against his own King’s College London biography. Shared people’s biographies, portraits and external affiliations are preserved. Primary financing includes an undisclosed-size seed round reported April5,2018, USD42million SeriesA announced May13,2020, and USD88million SeriesB closed March9,2023. Cumulative totals are not additional rounds. A June3,2024 Lilly agreement combines an upfront USD45million licensing payment with a separately stated equity investment of undisclosed amount; the licensing payment and potential USD577million future milestones are not equity fundraising. ALS Association research awards are recorded separately from private investment. The2017 Amgen Golden Ticket provided laboratory space and services, not an inferred cash financing. SEC filings identify the Delaware corporation, incorporated in2016 (CIK1811817). Separate convertible-promissory-note offerings reported USD5million securities sold in2022 and USD19,952,387 in2025; their targets of USD10million and USD24,921,734 are not completed raises. The cash fields remain unquantified pending reconciliation of note conversions with later equity financing. SeriesA andB SEC snapshots describe those same offerings and are not extra rounds. The March2026 corporate presentation explicitly described SeriesC funding as pending.

Its official tax return identifies EIN41-2073220, Pennsylvania organization, and Section501(c)(3) status. It is headquartered at2700 Horizon Drive, Suite120, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania19406.

AFTD's work combines scientific funding, research participation and engagement, medical education, support services and public advocacy. Its scientific interests span FTD biology, genetics, biomarkers, clinical studies and development of disease-modifying therapies. Its current scientific leadership includes Chief Scientific Officer Penny Dacks. Rachel Biblow became CEO in May2026, succeeding Susan L-J Dickinson; older documents naming Susan as CEO are historical. The current public professional directories publish51 staff,18 current directors and31 active external Medical Advisory Council members. External advisers are scoped advisory relationships rather than employees. Founder Helen-Ann Comstock's board service ended with her death on July30,2025. AFTD and the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation jointly established the Treat FTD programme in2016. Its current call supports relevant clinical trials through academic grants or biotechnology mission-related investments. Award ceilings, charitable income, programme budgets and fundraising goals are not LP fund closes or evidence of cash already paid. Biotechnology payments may depend on negotiated development and enrollment milestones. Treat FTD is recorded as a joint programme of its two institutions rather than a third duplicate cash investor. Vesper Bio announced a USD2.5million strategic mission-related investment from AFTD and ADDF through Treat FTD on November17,2025. Per-institution allocations and actual disbursement schedule are undisclosed. This funding relationship does not establish regulatory approval or proven clinical benefit of Vesper's investigational medicine. Exact company financing is source-qualified on the issuer record and is maintained separately from AFTD's charitable receipts. No commercial investment-fund ownership or institution-wide health status is inferred from its mission.
