The Neuroscience of Weight Regulation with Courage Therapeutics’ Dr. Roger Cone

In this episode of the Xtalks Life Science Podcast, Senior Life Science Journalist Ayesha Rashid speaks with Dr. Roger Cone, PhD, founder of Courage Therapeutics, professor at the University of Michigan, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a leading authority on the neuroscience of weight regulation.

Dr. Cone shares insights from over 30 years of groundbreaking research on the brain’s melanocortin system, discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of obesity and restrictive eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and cachexia.

Dr. Cone’s discoveries of the melanocortin-3 and -4 receptors (MC3R and MC4R) have helped shape our understanding of obesity and eating disorders.

Backed by a $7.8 million seed investment, Courage Therapeutics is developing innovative therapies targeting the brain’s appetite-regulating circuits that aim to complement GLP-1 treatments.

Tune in to learn how Dr. Cone’s work is shaping the next generation of brain-targeted therapeutics for obesity and restrictive eating disorders.
