Join the nano-rare disease community! Interviews features leading physicians, scientists, biotech experts, and patient advocates. Lessons teach core concepts about drugs. Our host Dr. Crooke has led the creation of antisense technology and his foundation, n-Lorem, is using this powerful technology to discover, develop, and provide personalized experimental antisense oligonucleotide medicines to nano-rare patients for free, for life.
n-Lorem is a non-profit organization established to apply the efficiency, versatility and specificity of antisense technology to charitably provide experimental antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) medicines to treat patients (less than 30 patients) that are the result of a single genetic defect unique to only one or very few individuals. The advantage of experimental ASO medicines is that they can be developed rapidly, inexpensively and are highly specific. n-Lorem was founded by Dr. Stan Crooke, who founded IONIS Pharmaceuticals in 1989 and, through his vision and leadership, established the company as the leader in RNA-targeted therapeutics.
The podcast is produced by n-Lorem Foundation and hosted by Dr. Stanley T. Crooke, who is the Founder, CEO and Chairman. Our videographer is Jon Magnuson. Our producers are Kira Dineen, Jon Magnuson, Andrew Serrano, and Amy Williford. To learn more about n-Lorem, visit nlorem.org. Contact us at podcast@nlorem.org.

Our Mission is Personal with Sarah Glass
For n-Lorem's Chief Operating Officer, Sarah Glass, the mission of n-Lorem is deeply personal. Her son Ethan was diagnosed with a nano-rare mutation, a journey that has shaped her commitment to the cause. A geneticist by training, Sarah joined n-Lorem to help lead and guide the organization in its efforts to offer hope and potential help through treatment opportunities to nano-rare patients and their families. This is more than just a job for her—she is driven by her love for her son and a passion to serve the entire nano-rare community. This episode is proudly sponsored by Hongene Biotech.
“We are changing the landscape of rare disease drug discovery and development – starting with the most rare.” – Sarah Glass, Ph.D.

✔️ Sarah’s background in science and her early interests
✔️ How working at a Contract Research Organization (CRO) shaped her understanding of the patient experience
✔️ The challenges of rare disease clinical trials and why they are still relatively new
✔️ Sarah’s son, Ethan, and his journey as a nano-rare patient
✔️ How long it took for Ethan to receive a diagnosis and the symptoms he faces
✔️ How Sarah discovered n-Lorem, a nonprofit providing free, lifetime treatment for nano-rare patients
✔️ The emotional journey of caring for a nano-rare child—how parents navigate hope and uncertainty
