About AstronauTx Ltd
AstronauTx’s methodology is based on a blend of clear, measurable biological goals—including EEG-derived sleep structure measurements and quantifiable gains in cognitive function and glymphatic system activity—and a data-driven plan incorporating sophisticated analytics. Through the analysis of extensive, high-quality EEG data, the firm seeks to accurately measure sleep structure and treatment effects. This facilitates the detection of nuanced patterns and biomarkers, leading to a deeper insight into how modulating slow wave sleep affects cognitive results and the course of disease.
Established by SV Health’s Dementia Discovery Fund, AstronauTx secured a £48 million ($61 million) Series A funding round in October 2023. The round was headed by the Novartis Venture Fund, with contributions from SV’s Dementia Discovery Fund, MPM BioImpact, Brandon Capital, EQT Life Sciences, and Bristol Myers Squibb.
