My cofounder and I are working on a synthetic biology startup concept targeting rare diseases. We're both genetic and microbiology generalists with a desire to dedicate ourselves to improving the human condition.
I find it serendipitous that we just had a two hour call today discussing our desire to work on creating a treatment for one or more rare diseases.
The one area we lack expertise in is the regulatory and commercialization pipeline. If someone reads this and is interested in speaking with us about how we can work on this (or other) rare disease and could offer the mentorship we need to ensure our work can actually reach the hands that need it, please email me: josh@everymanbio.com
We'd consider a non-profit model if it makes sense.
