Future therapies in galactosemia

In this latest episode, we explore what's next for treating classic galactosemia. The discussion is anchored in two fascinating recent publications, including the wide-angle perspective from “Reshaping the Treatment Landscape of a Galactose Metabolism Disorder” and a deep dive into something delightfully unexpected: purple sweet potato color (PSPC) as a therapeutic strategy. Yes, purple sweet potatoes. Who knew? We’re joined by familiar voices Estela Rubio-Gozalbo and Kent Lai, alongside first-time guests Synneva HagenLillevik and Bijina Balakrishnan, for a conversation that blends bold scientific possibility with practical insights on the challenges of developing disease-modifying therapies for galactosemia.
