EP 159: Engineering macrophages to tackle rare disease with Noam Baumatz of Noga Therapeutics

In this episode, we’re joined by Noam Baumatz, CEO and Co-Founder of Noga Therapeutics, a company dedicated to developing gene therapies for rare and severe diseases through engineering macrophages. Motivated by his highly personal experience of rare disease, Noam founded Noga to develop the type of gene therapies his daughter was unable to access. He and Patrick discuss his work with parents and families affected by rare disease, the road to effective, financially accessible gene therapies, and Noam’s previous work in traditional Chinese medicine.
