In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Patryk Mikucki, Vice President and Global Head of Country Operations at Alexion AstraZeneca Rare Diseases. With over 25 years of experience across veterinary medicine, academia, and the pharmaceutical industry, Patryk brings a bold, deeply human perspective to the world of clinical trials.
From his unexpected career journey—starting with animal ethics committees in Poland to building operations in Ukraine—to his philosophy of punk-rock leadership, Patryk emphasizes diversity, transparency, emotional intelligence, and hope as essential elements in research.
We discuss:
- The future of AI in pharma and patient-centric innovation
- Building empowered, passionate global teams
- Diversity beyond race: disability, access, and health equity in clinical trials
- The power of real-world evidence and personalized medicine
- His dream of customized, on-demand clinical trials powered by 3D printing
With heart, humor, and fierce honesty, Patryk shares what it really takes to move science forward—without losing sight of the people it’s meant to serve.
💬 “As long as we don’t have solutions for all patients, we are not done.”
