      Nephrogen is a seed-stage biotech company developing curative gene therapies for kidney diseases. Our initial focus is on polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which affects 600,000 Americans and has no effective treatment or cure. Nephrogen was founded by Demetri Maxim, a PKD patient and scientist from Stanford University, Vivek Bhalla, and George Church. Our Scientific Advisory Board includes several field leaders in kidney disease and genetics, including Terry Watnick (NIH PKD Center), Ron Perrone (Tufts University), and Mark Kay (Stanford University).

      Our team has spent the last 10 years solving the key bottleneck in the field of getting high efficiency delivery to the kidney. We developed novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid variants that target kidney epithelial cells and are combining this technology with CRISPR-Cas gene editing to develop one-time curative treatments for PKD and other genetic kidney diseases. We’re boldly committed to applying our innovative technology towards reimagining kidney disease patient care.
