NGNE

Neurogene Inc.

A biotechnology company that engineers gene therapies for rare, severe neurological diseases, mostly affecting children, such as Rett syndrome. Its EXACT technology acts like a built-in dial, fine-tuning how much of a therapeutic protein a cell makes to avoid the toxicity that often plagues conventional gene therapy. The company was founded in 2018 by Rachel McMinn, a biotech analyst whose older brother lives with an undiagnosed neurological condition—the personal spark behind the whole venture—and it went public in 2023 through a reverse merger.
