Liz Beatty: Building Trust in Clinical Trials

Meg welcomes Liz Beatty, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Inato, a marketplace that enables clinical researchers and sponsors to make clinical research more inclusive and accessible for patients no matter who they are or where they live. Inato also increases clinical trial efficiency by enabling all community sites to offer the right trials to their patients. Meg and Liz discuss the problems with the traditional clinical trial landscape, the role of the doctor and care team in the process, the difficulties for patients in accessing the right clinical trials, and how Inato is bridging this gap while increasing speed and efficiency for drug discovery research. Liz also explains the importance of research and community-based practices, leveraging technology, her mentorship experience, and the impact she hopes to make in the future.Further Reading:InatoLiz Beatty on CVS' recent exit from clinical researchWhy diversify clinical trials?Cameron, D., Willoughby, C., Messer, D., Lux, M., Aitken, M., & Getz, K.
