  • As a former neurologist, I have worked with many patients and often felt constrained by the limited number of effective treatments available. PepGen’s Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide (EDO) platform offers an exciting and innovative approach to tackling diseases like DMD and DM1.

    Director, Bioanalytical & Biomarkers

  • At PepGen, the collaborative spirit and dedication to science inspires me every day. I value our shared commitment to helping patients with rare neuromuscular diseases, and it’s this tangible impact of our work that keeps me motivated. When I’m not in the lab, I enjoy spending time outdoors going on hikes or runs around Boston.
