RYE, N.Y., June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Curemark, LLC, (www.curemark.com), a drug research and development company focused on the treatment of neurological diseases, presented at the Rodman & Renshaw 6th Annual Global Healthcare Conference, held May 16 - 18 in London.

Dr. Joan Fallon, founder and CEO, spoke May 17 on the development of Curemark's enzyme replacement therapy targeting neurological disorders and discussed the progress of the company's autism research. CM-AT, Curemark's autism treatment, is now in Phase III clinical trials and has been granted Fast Track status by the FDA.

"The Rodman & Renshaw investment conference was an excellent occasion to highlight Curemark's science and provide an update on the momentum of our research for the many healthcare and biotech investors who attended the event," Fallon said.

CM-AT, one of the first therapies to address the underlying physiology of autism, is based on Fallon's research that showed enzyme deficiencies in autistic children, resulting in an inability to digest protein. The inability to digest protein affects the production of amino acids, needed to produce the chemicals essential for brain function. Curemark anticipates expanding its research program to examine its science in relation to other neurological conditions such as ADHD.
