Where Industry Insight Meets Patient Experience
Unifying Research is your bridge over the gap between the business and patient sides of the research industry. With each episode featuring two conversations — one with a clinical research professional and another with a patient sharing their real-world trial experience — this podcast covers the progress, pitfalls, and potential of clinical trials all while keeping the patient at the heart.
Whether you’re a CRO executive, clinical operations leader, investigator, or simply someone who has taken part in a study, the Unifying Research podcast is where you’ll hear the voices that matter. Because understanding both sides is what helps us move research forward ethically, effectively, and together.
