About this listen

 In this episode of the Hope in Focus Podcast, host Ben Shaberman is joined by Kara Fick, Director of Patient Advocacy at Atsena Therapeutics, and Andy Bolan, Director of Patient Advocacy at Sepul Bio. Both Kara and Andy work closely with families affected by inherited retinal diseases, helping them better understand the clinical trial process and the realities of drug development. They share how they entered the field, what patient advocacy looks like day-to-day inside biotech companies, and why this work is essential for bridging the gap between researchers and the patient community. Together, they highlight how advocates support families through the clinical trial journey—making sure the patient voice remains at the center of gene therapy development.
