We discussed the complexities of clinical trials, its patient recruitment, and data unavailability challenges, and why we must make them more efficient He is also the founder of a non-profit, IndoUSRare, which as the name implies bridges the rare disease treatment and awareness gap between the US and Indian diaspora.  We also discussed the people and companies with the similar inspiring stories such as John Crowley from Amicus Therapeutics, and Terry Pirovolakis from Elpida Therapeutics.
