Our Story
Monsana was inspired by the personal experiences of its founders. Â
When a family member of one of the founders was confronted with the terrifying reality of an aggressive, life-threatening cancer with no standard treatments available, she plunged into a chaotic and confusing search for clinical trials. Despite her background as a medical doctor and her experience in the pharmaceutical industry, she was overwhelmed by the complexity and inaccessibility of finding the right clinical trial. It struck her profoundly; if she was struggling this much, how would someone without her background ever manage?Â
​Â
This realization led her to unite with a co-founder who shared her purpose: to create a solution that could help not just her family but countless others facing similar challenges. With their combined expertise in AI engineering and medical knowledge, fueled by a shared passion, they laid the foundations of Monsana. Their mission is simple yet ambitious: to simplify the search for clinical trials and ensure that everyone, regardless of their medical knowledge background, has access to the treatments they desperately need.Â
