Meet The Team

Nuevocor’s LMNA gene therapy is based on decades of research into fundamental mechanisms underlying LMNA-associated disease enabled by the development of novel technologies on the part of co-founders Colin Stewart and Brian Burke. Together with the AAV gene therapy and cardiac disease modeling expertise of scientific co-founders Mark Kay and Jianming Jiang respectively, Nuevocor is well-positioned to cure LMNA and other genetic cardiomyopathies, amongst other cardiac diseases.
