Clinical Stage
Biotech
“Probably the ultimate goal for every scientist in biomedical research, is to make an observation that may enable development of a cure/treatment against a devastating or fatal disorder. I have been privileged to experience such a journey. Starting years back when we identified the Vps10p-domain receptor sortilin and later showed it may represent an attractive target to normalize progranulin levels that are commonly too low in FTD, we today dosed the first human with our orally available sortilin antagonist - the first small molecule developed. Truly, this has been one of my greatest experiences in my professional life.”
