Show Notes
When Stan Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., ran Ionis and John Maraganore, Ph.D., ran Alnylam, they were partners that turned into rivals — and not always friendly ones — as they persevered to pursue an entirely new therapeutic space; RNA-targeted drug discovery and development. Now, the pair of drug discovery titans have united once again in support of Dr. Crooke’s n-Lorem Foundation—working to provide experimental personalized medicines to the rarest of rare disease patients (nano-rare) using the antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) technology he developed at Ionis. In this episode, Stan speaks with Dr. John Maraganore about John’s past, their former rivalry, and the optimism shared between the two with respect to the future of n-Lorem.
