Priyanka, it was amazing to hear about your work! Being able to witness the entire pipeline over two summers, from lab research to clinical trials, is such a rare and exciting opportunity. The transition from controlled experiments to real-world impact is where the heart of medical innovation beats, and it sounds like you have experienced both sides firsthand. How awesome! Regardless of a clinical trial’s outcome, the insights gained always push science forward, and that, to me, is the true beauty of this work. In my opinion, clinical trials are where the magic really happens because they bridge research and patient care.
I was especially moved by your reflection on representation in clinical trials. Including underrepresented communities, particularly in studies for diseases like tuberculosis and malaria, which disproportionately affect areas with limited resources, is essential. Your awareness and dedication to maintaining ethical balance in this space is deeply inspiring. No leader gets it perfect, but the best ones continue to grow, and it is clear you are doing exactly that.
I cannot wait to connect when we are back in New York and hear even more about your summer!
