Patient Empowerment Program: A Rare Disease Podcast

n-Lorem provides an opportunity for a better life, renewed hope and brighter dreams, one patient, one family at a time. Our mission is to provide personalized experimental antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) medicines to treat nano-rare patients – for free, for life. Nano-rare patients describe a very small group of patients (1-30 worldwide) who, because of their small numbers, have few if any treatment options. We take advantage of the efficacy and versatility of ASO technology. ASO technology is the only technology with regulatory guidance to treat nano-rare patients. Rare diseases often cause people to do things that they’re completely untrained to do. With this series, we’re building a community for nano-rare and bringing the basic science behind drug discovery and development directly to patients and their families.

Dr. Stan Crooke talks to Luke Rosen and Wendy Chung about Luke’s seven-year old daughter, Susannah. Susannah has a genetic mutation that is progressive and debilitating. Susannah is also an n-Lorem patient, which means that we are hard at work discovering and developing a personalized experimental ASO medicine just for her, for her specific mutation. Her doctor, Wendy Chung, and Luke discuss Susannah’s life, her diagnosis and disease progression and the hope that they both have that there will be something that will make life better for her.

We are excited to announce n-Lorem’s brand new podcast, the "Patient Empowerment Program". There are podcasts about genetics and rare diseases, but we didn’t find one focused on nano-rare diseases, conditions that affect 30 or less people in the world. Listen to this trailer to hear a sneak peak at what’s coming up on the podcast. There are going to be two types of episodes on this podcast, interviews and lessons. All episodes are hosted by biotech titian, Dr. Stan Crooke. He is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of the n-Lorem Foundation.
