Korsana Biosciences, a spinoff from Paragon Therapeutics, plans to go public through a reverse merger to advance its Alzheimer's disease programs. The transaction is being led by Jonathan Violin, who has previously executed reverse merger deals.
The move comes as biotech companies developing Alzheimer's treatments are experiencing renewed investor interest. The sector has gained momentum following developments from major pharmaceutical companies like Roche in the Alzheimer's space.
