Hala Borno, Founder and CEO of Trial Library: Improving Patient Recruitment and Diversity in Oncology Clinical Trials
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Hala Borno, Founder and CEO of Trial Library, an evidence-based platform for improving patient recruitment and diversity in oncology clinical trials, about why a more representative candidate pool is key to the future of better health for everyone. Trial Library partners with study sponsors to recruit candidates from a wide range of backgrounds to make sure that the principles of health equity are built into the process from the bottom up.
We also speak about Hala’s personal experience with her mother’s care choices that led her to a career in medicine, how she balances maintaining a commitment to patients with the responsibilities of being a CEO, what it means to build a public benefit company with empathy as its ‘North star,’ and why diversity in clinical trials depends largely on healthcare providers’ role as the gatekeepers.
