Manage episode 385109701 series 60790
Alex Nemiroff took an unusual path to becoming the general counsel at Praxis Precision Medicines. Nemiroff’s son was diagnosed with a rare genetic epilepsy, and he co-founded the biotechnology company RogCon to develop an antisense oligonucleotide to treat it. Praxis licensed the project and hired Nemiroff as its general counsel. Now, the company has released encouraging data from the first four evaluable patients in a clinical study of the experimental therapy. We spoke to Nemiroff, general counsel at Praxis Precision Medicines, about his journey as a parent of a child with a rare, genetic disease; how he came to launch a biotechnology company to develop a treatment for his son, and what other patient families looking to advance a therapy can learn from his experience.
