Brazilian startup MirScience Therapeutics is working on reversing muscle loss. I had an illuminating chat with co-founder Milena Peregrino, PhD about the technology and the company’s progress.
Sponsored by Purdue University entrepreneurship and Peter Fasse, patent attorney at Fish and Richardson.
Highlights:
Sal Daher Introduces Milena Peregrino MicroRNAs and What They Do MirScience Therapeutics "... Keeping in mind that we're talking about mouse models, it has not gone into human trials yet, but this is very promising..." "... We are going to need the non-rodent species. For now, we are planning to go with non-human primates, so monkeys..." How MirScience Was Founded Milena's Background "... Most people die from the results from falls. It's not necessarily immediately, it's within six months. If they have a severe fall, old people decline very fast and so this has huge implication for people to age better. The ability to have muscular old people going around instead of frail people who fall over easily..." Why Milena Chose Biology Advice to the Audience
