About Prilenia

Prilenia Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the urgent mission of developing novel therapeutics to slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders, is looking for a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) in the United States, to support programs in both Huntington’s Disease and ALS.

We are a flexible, fast-moving team that is quickly advancing a potential therapy poised to have major impact on the lives of patients and their families. Our lead product candidate, pridopidine, holds Orphan Drug Designation in both Huntington’s disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the U.S. and EU, as well as Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of HD. Prilenia is conducting global Phase 3 clinical trials in both HD and ALS.

Pridopidine has the potential to be a pivotal treatment to address HD and ALS disease progression. Prilenia believes pridopidine’s novel mechanism of action as a Sigma-1 receptor agonist also gives it potential in numerous other neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions.
