About Henali Patel

Hi there! I’m Henali Patel, and I’m so excited you’re here! This blog is a space where I share my passion for clinical research, my personal journey, and insights to inspire and connect with others. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, just starting out, or simply curious about how healthcare breakthroughs happen, you’re in the right place!

A little about me: I’ve been working in clinical research for a few years, focusing on therapeutic areas like type-2 diabetes, respiratory medical devices, and infectious diseases. I hold a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship from NYU, where I developed a unique blend of scientific knowledge and business acumen that I bring into everything I do. Beyond my work in research, I’m also a Program Director for a nonprofit, where I lead initiatives that support and uplift our community.

As a proud South Asian woman, I’m deeply passionate about empowering women—especially those from similar backgrounds—to dream big, break barriers, and achieve their goals. I believe in creating spaces where we can inspire and support one another to reach new heights.

On this blog, you’ll find career advice, industry insights, and personal reflections on navigating the world of clinical research and beyond. My hope is that this space feels like a warm, welcoming conversation with a friend—encouraging, inspiring, and maybe even a little fun.

So, grab a cup of chai (or coffee!), take a look around, and let’s connect! I’m so excited to share this journey with you.

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here!

With gratitude and warmth,
Henali
