We really are able to do a lot once we get to the next point, because that's when we can build up all of these next-stage animal models in anorexia, animal models in larger animals than just a mouse, be able to test additional things.
Imagine being driven by personal experiences to create groundbreaking solutions for a devastating disorder. That’s exactly what Dan Housman, co-founder and CTO of Courage Therapeutics, is doing. In this episode, Dan shares his journey from molecular biology to biopharma, all inspired by his close encounters with eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa.
