Innovation is for the curious and those who love to experiment. Clinical trials are all about bringing innovation from bench to bedside.

The result has been several unintended consequences, such as lack of diversity among human sample sets, high costs, and very long timelines. Some 80% of clinical trials fail to meet initial recruitment targets and deadlines1.
