    Ammara Mushtaq, MD

    PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR,
    SITE DIRECTOR

    As a physician and clinical investigator with over ten years of experience, Dr. Ammara Mushtaq founded Rasai Research to address a critical gap in clinical trials: the underrepresentation of Asian and immigrant communities. Through work across both academic and independent research settings, Dr. Mushtaq witnessed firsthand how systemic barriers—such as language, trust, and access—limit participation from diverse populations. Rasai was established to change that.
