Ep. 29 Christian Kersten & Marte Cameron: From Serendipitous Discovery to a New Era in Chronic Pain Treatment
Neuropathic pain affects nearly 10% of the global population, yet effective treatments remain elusive. In this episode of Spark Time, we sit down with oncologists-turned-biotech-founders Christian Kersten and Marte Cameron of Akigai Therapeutics to hear the remarkable story of how a serendipitous clinical observation led to a new approach for treating chronic pain.
From the first wheelchair-bound patient who walked again after EGFR inhibitor therapy, to the 100+ patients who have since experienced life-changing relief, Christian and Marte share the science, the setbacks, and the vision behind Akigai's mission: to bring effective, non-opioid solutions to millions living with neuropathic pain. This is a story of discovery, persistence, and hope for one of medicine's most stubborn challenges.
