RYE, N.Y., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Curemark, LLC, (www.curemark.com), a drug research and development company focused on the treatment of neurological diseases, will present at the Rodman & Renshaw 6^th Annual Global Healthcare Conference, to be held May 16 -18 in London, the company announced.

Dr. Joan Fallon, Curemark's founder and CEO, will discuss the company's enzyme replacement therapy targeted to autism and other neurological disorders. Curemark is currently in Phase III clinical trials for CM-AT, its autism treatment, which the FDA recently designated as a Fast Track drug.

CM-AT, one of the first therapies to address the underlying physiology of autism, is based on Dr. 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, the building blocks of chemicals essential for brain function. Curemark anticipates expanding its research program to examine its science in relation to other neurological conditions such as ADHD.

"We are very pleased to have this opportunity of showcasing our progress at the Rodman & Renshaw investment conference," Fallon said. "The conference brings together a wide variety of innovative companies working on new developments as well as investors interested in all areas of healthcare and biotech."

More than 175 companies focused on areas including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gene therapy and oncology, are scheduled to present at the conference.
