Closing out our celebration of AAPINH month, CEO Viswa Colluru, PhD speaks to how being Asian American has influenced the formation and culture of Enveda. "Enveda's inception is deeply rooted in my personal heritage and upbringing. The challenge in drug discovery is that potential medicines often show promise in the lab but don't always deliver the same results in humans. Before establishing Enveda, I was determined to address this issue directly. Instinctively, my childhood encounters with traditional medicine practices came to mind. Whether it was an upset stomach, a cold, or jaundice, our family's assortment of herbs and remedies was our first port of call. As far as we could tell, they were very effective. In India, where I was raised, these weren't seen as alternative treatments, they were simply medicine. These early experiences instilled in me a strong belief in the power of nature as a source of new medicines, harnessing the wisdom of billions of years of evolution and ancient human knowledge. Why stop at aspirin, metformin, artemisinin, and taxol? Fast forward five years, I'm immensely grateful to have transformed that initial concept into a thriving organization that synergizes modern technology to unlock one of the oldest concepts in drug discovery to its full potential. This journey has been incredibly challenging and absolutely rewarding, and I can't wait for the impact we will make in the years to come."
