Despite decades of research, there are no FDA-approved pharmacologic therapies capable of restoring function after spinal cord injury. NervGen exists to change that.


NervGen was founded at the intersection of personal experience and scientific discovery. After a spinal cord injury left the daughter-in-law of co-founder Dr. Harold Punnett paralyzed, he began searching for a solution, determined to find a path to recovery. That search led him to the pioneering work of neuroscientist Dr. Jerry Silver, whose research identified a key barrier to nervous system repair. In 2017, NervGen was established to translate the breakthrough science of Dr. Silver into therapies designed to enable the nervous system to repair itself.
We bring together scientists, clinicians, and industry professionals across disciplines who are driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to advancing breakthrough science.
