They say it’s about the journey, not the destination, and I couldn’t imagine a more talented and dedicated team to be on this journey with. Amazing to think about all we have achieved and how much lies ahead. Onward!
As we reflect on our recent progress, we celebrate the two-year anniversary marking our company’s launch and the rapid advancement of our atherosclerosis program from concept into Phase 2a trials!
Nazish, reading this piece gives me a very different perspective of what you went through. Your courage and never-give-up attitude are an inspiration to us all. Very proud of you.

Thanks for having me on the show. Fun to recount what we are working on in the lab, and am especially pleased to have been able to sneak in a dad joke at the end that I am sure will mortify my kids.

Exciting news!🎉The first patient has been dosed in our MATADOR Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating BRB-002, a novel immunomodulating therapy in development for ASCVD. BRB-002 directly targets the underlying plaque of ASCVD, offering a new potential treatment approach.
Thank you so much for this announcement. Very fortunate to have received this award and for the opportunity to work on what we believe to be a very important problem. Thank you to the NIH for supporting this work and to the team who is pursuing these studies at the bench.
