Inside MedTech with Dr. Hala Borno
On August 18, 2022, Trial Library, an oncology clinical trials company, emerged from “stealth” to launch as a startup focused on addressing the lack of equity that exists in patient recruitment to oncology clinical trials. Trial Library was developed from research at UCSF by Dr. Hala Borno, an oncologist and experienced health equity researcher, and was developed by UCSF Innovation Ventures' Engagement and Opportunity Development (EOD) team, which focuses on helping launch NewCo's based on UCSF innovations.
Trial Library prioritizes the needs of diverse patient populations and underrepresented patient groups. On the eve of her company launch, UCSF Innovation Ventures' Sean Karlin posed a few questions about the significance of her work for the future of healthcare.
