With a passion for patient-first practices and data collection, Kartikeya serves Reliance Research as the Clinical Research Coordinator, working with patients wishing to be an integral part of the improvement of treatment protocols.

He earned a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from Manipal University and has considerable experience with Clinical Research, being a published author as of this writing. His own experiences with the healthcare system have ensured that communicating effectively with patients is a top priority for him.

Kartikeya’s inherent ability to teach and support others means his focus is on educating trial participants to ensure they are aware of the entire process prior to, and throughout, their journey within a trial. This desire to help and support others also finds him volunteering with children in foster care in Maricopa County.

In his free time, he can be found cooking French and Indian food, and taking long walks with his dachshund, Marley.
