In March 2016, Codi, the daughter-in-law of Dr. Harold Punnett, one of NervGen’s co-founders, fell and became a complete T-11 paraplegic. She has no sensation or function below the level of her belly button and the devastating injury changed the lives of Codi and the rest of the family. In response to this terrible injury, Dr. Punnett began a personal quest to learn about spinal cord injury.

Through his research, he discovered a revolutionary nerve regeneration technology of deep biological logic in Dr. Jerry Silver’s work at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). Dr. Silver and Dr. Punnett began a conversation that resulted in the formation of NervGen Pharma Corp. in 2018. Dr. Punnett’s hope is that the work performed by NervGen will be able to help Codi and others suffering from paralysis; he is also very excited that the technology may also lead to novel new treatments for other serious neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases.
