Bloomberg News: "Drug tests draw from travel site to fix industry flaw"
At TrialReach, our goal is to make finding a clinical trial match as easy as finding a flight for your next trip. Bloomberg News talked to our CEO, Pablo Gravier, about his vision:
"The 47-year-old Argentinian entrepreneur, a former executive at the airfare search engine kayak.com, has designed a new tool that draws from the travel industry to match scientists looking to test experimental medicines with patients suffering from more than a dozen diseases.
It pools information patients previously had to piece together from Google searches, doctors and a complicated government-run website.
Pfizer, Novartis and other drugmakers endorse the project because it disrupts a model so inefficient it's hobbled pharmaceutical research for years."
