Breaking through barriers in gene therapy and neurology
About us
Voyager Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: VYGR) is a biotechnology company dedicated to leveraging the power of human genetics to modify the course of – and ultimately cure – neurological diseases. Our pipeline includes programs for Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, and multiple other diseases of the central nervous system. Many of our programs are derived from our TRACER™ AAV capsid discovery platform, which we have used to generate novel capsids and identify associated receptors to potentially enable high brain penetration with genetic medicines following intravenous dosing. Some of our programs are wholly owned, and some are advancing with partners including Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease; Novartis Pharma AG; Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.; and Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc.

Thanks to Dylan Neel at the Biomarker newsletter for profiling Voyager’s CEO, Al Sandrock, MD, PhD. We love your spotlight on the “Sandrock Shamrock,” Al’s guiding principles for drug development, and the pearls of wisdom from his illustrious career in neuroscience: https://bit.ly/3Mro7FE #leadership #neurology #biotechnology #biomarker
Biomarker interview with Al Sandrock, CEO of Voyager Therapeutics, Inc. We discuss his early interests in neuroscience and clinical training in neurology. As a resident, Al witnessed the power of imaging biomarkers (Gd enhanced MRIs) to aid in clinical development (betaseron for #MS). He walks us through his decision to leave academia for Biogen in 1998, and his guiding principles for drug development: the "Sandrock Shamrocks." In 2022, Al assumed the CEO position of Voyager. We discuss the company's founding vision, pipeline and progress to date. We also cover general barriers to #neuro drug development. I learned a ton from this one! Thanks to Al and the team at Voyager. #biotech #neurology #drugdevelopment #biomarker https://lnkd.in/eGCUAzxF
