Souvien is founded on the pioneering research of Professor Li-Huei Tsai, the director of The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, and Associate Professor Stephen Haggarty, the director of the Chemical Neurobiology Laboratory at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital, on the epigenetic underpinnings of neurodegeneration.

Professor Tsai said: “We have collected a substantial body of data implicating a critical epigenetic regulator of cellular aging in neurodegeneration. We are delighted to establish this new venture with Juvenescence and their experienced team of proven drug developers.”

“I’m excited to join forces with Juvenescence and their partners as we develop unprecedented therapies from the bench into the clinic,” said Dr. Haggarty.
