As a physician and clinical investigator with over a decade of experience, Dr. Mushtaq founded Rasai Research with a clear purpose: to make clinical trials more inclusive. Having worked in both academic and independent research settings, she saw how language, trust, and access often kept Asian and immigrant communities from participating in research. With her vision and leadership, Rasai was created to break down those barriers and ensure that every community has a voice in advancing healthcare.
