Trishna Dey
 
 
     
 
Trishna Dey's experience as a self-styled global healthcare professional in various environments and settings has given her the opportunity to be cognizant of the disease burden that exists in society and the need to make available some form of healthcare to the under-privileged, marginalized and resource poor populations in the world.

Over a span of fifteen years Trishna has interacted with various Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies facilitating elements of the drug development process, particularly instituting strategies for Patient Recruitment and retention in global clinical trials.

Trishna's global experience has equipped her with the knowledge that site-specific and country specific promotional materials for the patients as well as the investigational team need to be created in tandem with protocol adherence and standardized data collection for any trial to be successful. Trishna has spent the last four years at the National Cancer Institute at NIH in Washington D.C., USA where she promoted and managed a postdoctoral training and research program focusing on Cancer Prevention and Control.

She passionately believes in facilitating educational and awareness campaigns in cancer prevention in developing countries, to dispel the prevailing stigma of hopelessness and despair when diagnosed with cancer.
