History of Quincy Bioscience

Quincy Bioscience original location at University Research Park

Mark Underwood and James R. Moyer, Jr. Ph.D. at UW-Milwaukee

Quincy Bioscience officially started this journey on June 7, 2004, just a few short days after the passing of President Reagan, a time when the nation’s attention turned to Alzheimer’s and its destructive course of events. Quincy Bioscience set its sights on making a difference in the quality of life for those afflicted with the diseases of aging. As President Reagan noted on a plaque that sat on his Oval Office desk, It Can Be Done!

Quincy Bioscience opened headquarters in the University Research Park in Madison, Wisconsin in the fall of 2004. Simultaneously, a partnership was formed with the laboratory of Dr. James R. Moyer, Jr. of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Dr. Moyer is a leading expert in the field of calcium-mediated dementia and cellular death.

Research results from Dr. Moyer’s lab successfully demonstrated apoaequorin as a potent neuroprotective compound and data was presented at the annual conference of The Society for Neuroscience. Further studies proved apoaequorin even more protective in aged models.

To accommodate growth in all areas of the organization Quincy Bioscience moves out of the Research Park to its current location, four times larger than the previous office space sufficient to accommodate growing staff and future needs.

Quincy Bioscience looks forward to a healthy future of innovation in therapeutics and other technologies to help protect brain cells.
