At QABY, we are driven by a singular mission: to transform the way Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies are diagnosed and treated. As a pioneering biotechnology startup based in Qatar, we are harnessing cutting-edge innovation to tackle one of the world's most pressing healthcare challenges.
QABY aims to revolutionize care for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies, including multiple system atrophy (MSA) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
Our mission is to enable early, accurate diagnosis and develop therapies that address the root causes of these diseases, not just their symptoms.
Through scientific innovation, we strive to enhance patient outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
QABY's innovative Seed Amplification Immunoassay (SAIA) and ELISA-based tests enable early and precise detection of PD, DLB, and MSA by identifying misfolded alpha-synuclein in biological samples such as CSF, blood, and skin homogenates. These tools have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, support clinical trials targeting misfolded alpha-synuclein, and pave the way for more targeted interventions.

QABY is at the forefront of developing nanobody-based therapies to target alpha-synuclein aggregates, the hallmark of PD and related disorders. With ongoing advancements, nanobody therapies are being engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier and act intracellularly, offering a stable, specific, and potentially disease-modifying approach to halt or reverse neurodegeneration.
