Honoring Karen Aiach

This year we have the great pleasure of honoring Karen Aiach, Founder and CEO of Lysogene. Karen personifies a “don’t give up” attitude. Her daughter, Ornella, has Sanfilippo Type A. With her daughter’s health and life at stake, her passion, determination, and resourcefulness made gene therapy treatment available for her. And now she leads an organization that has made advances toward making treatments available for other children. We honor Karen as a mother and an entrepreneur. NTSAD shares and supports Karen’s interest in advancing gene therapy for GM-1 gangliosidosis.
