Cuban Biotechnology for Neurological Care

NeuralCIM Neuroprotective Therapy

NeuralCIM is a Cuban biotechnology product — a neuroprotective therapy developed by the Center for Molecular Immunology in Havana — used in Cuba's neurological rehabilitation programs for conditions including Alzheimer's disease, stroke recovery, and traumatic brain injury.

What is NeuralCIM?

A Neuroprotective Therapy from Cuba

NeuralCIM is a recombinant human erythropoietin with reduced sialic acid content, developed by the Center for Molecular Immunology (CIM) in Havana, Cuba. In Cuba's neurological programs, it is used as a neuroprotective agent intended to support neuron survival and reduce neuroinflammation — alongside intensive cognitive and physical rehabilitation.

Developed by Cuba's Center for Molecular Immunology (CIM), a leading biotechnology institution

A modified erythropoietin molecule designed for neuroprotective rather than hematopoietic (blood-producing) action

Used in combination with cognitive rehabilitation, physical therapy, and multidisciplinary care

Administered under medical supervision as part of individualized 4–8 week treatment cycles

Not approved by the US FDA and not available through US healthcare providers

Neuroprotective Therapy
The Science

How NeuralCIM Is Designed to Work

Standard erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. NeuralCIM is a modified form of EPO with reduced sialic acid residues. This modification is designed to reduce its blood-building activity while retaining neuroprotective properties — the goal being to support neuron survival and modulate neuroinflammation without the hematological side effects of standard EPO.

Neuroprotection

Designed to support the survival of neurons under stress — such as in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, or after acute injuries like stroke or traumatic brain injury.

Anti-Inflammatory Action

Intended to modulate neuroinflammation — a process implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions.

Modified EPO Molecule

The reduced sialic acid content is designed to lower hematopoietic (blood-building) activity, separating neuroprotective effects from red blood cell stimulation.

Combination Therapy

In Cuba, NeuralCIM is not used alone — it is part of a comprehensive program combining neuroprotective therapy with intensive cognitive and physical rehabilitation.

Treatment Protocol

What a NeuralCIM Treatment Cycle Involves

NeuralCIM is administered as part of a structured, individualized treatment program — not as a standalone medication. Each cycle is designed by a multidisciplinary medical team based on the patient's specific condition and needs.

1

Clinical Evaluation

Neuroimaging (MRI/CT), neuropsychological assessment, medical history review, and consultation with a neurologist to determine program suitability.

2

Individualized Treatment Plan

A personalized protocol is designed — combining NeuralCIM neuroprotective therapy with cognitive rehabilitation, physical therapy, and supportive care.

3

Neuroprotective Therapy

NeuralCIM is administered under medical supervision according to the individualized protocol, with continuous monitoring by the medical team.

4

Intensive Rehabilitation

Daily cognitive training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language therapy — typically 4–6 hours per day, 5 days per week.

5

Multidisciplinary Monitoring

Regular assessments by neurologists, neuropsychologists, and therapists to track progress and adjust the program as needed.

6

Aftercare & Handover

A structured discharge plan with coordinated handover to the patient's home-country physician and remote follow-up monitoring.
