To launch the podcast and mark 14 years of P95, Thomas Verstraeten, CEO of P95, sits down with the company’s first employee, Margarita Riera, now Epidemiology Strategy Director. Together, they reflect on how infectious disease remains a core public health challenge, how P95’s approach has shifted in response to sponsor needs and global-local tensions, and why epidemiology is central to making trials work in the real world.

This isn’t just a historical look-back,  it’s a conversation about how to balance global insights with local realities, why real-world data matters, and how P95 has evolved to lead in this new landscape.
