About Ryan M. Confer
An entire career focused on identifying and investing in emerging and disruptive technologies in academic and lab settings and licensing, investing, building, and translating these technologies to commercial application.At Genprex, our team is dedicated to advancing REQORSA, a tumor fighting DNA gene therapy utilizing a first-of-its-kind, non-viral, systemic delivery platform in cancer that we refer to as ONCOPREX. We achieved safety and efficacy in 5 different clinical trials and have 3 FDA fast-track designations (FTDs) and an orphan drug designation exploring RESORSA in advanced stage lung cancer. Our teams have also pioneered a state-of-the-art diabetes therapy utilizing an autologous-based gene therapy via an endoscopic procedure. This approach has the potential to disrupt the traditional insulin market buy allowing existing cells to go through processes of transdifferentiation and dedifferentiation to treat both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes organically with limited, if any, need for insulin therapy.Outside of Genprex, I support other technology-driven projects which I maintain a strategic or passion-driven purpose and have personally invested including SaaS, medical devices, fintech, industrial design, and motorsport.
