Ep. 75 | Casey McPherson | Facing Fear & Finding Purpose
from Founder In Progress
Casey is a father, musician, and biotech founder who turned heartbreak into hope. After years as a touring artist—and the ups and downs that came with it—his world shifted when his daughter Rose was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease. Faced with the words, “There’s nothing we can do,” Casey refused to accept the status quo. Drawing on grit from his music career and the hard lessons of loss, sobriety, and rebuilding, he taught himself the science and business of drug development. He launched the Takira Rose Foundation, built Rare Labs to accelerate patient-specific treatments, and now leads Alpharose Therapeutics, a public benefit biotech company creating faster, more affordable therapies for ultra-rare diseases.LEARN MORE about Casey McPherson Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/casey.mcpherson/?hl=en LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseymcpherson/ Website - https://www.startengine.com/offering/alpharose FOLLOW US on social media: Instagram - https://instagram.com/2cmadeit/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/2CMadeIt LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/2cmadeit/ Vimeo - https://vimeo.com/2cmediainc Website - https://2cmedia.ca Want to raise a ruckus?
