Arianpour joins a diverse group of industry leaders who were selected based on their inspirational qualities as well as their ability to innovate, develop breakthrough strategies, and improve the lives of patients. This year’s honorees include: Standout execs, Trailblazers, Cancer care visionaries, Clinical trial gurus, Patient heroes, Entrepreneurs, Tech wizards, Rare disease warriors, and Brand and commercialization pros.

PharmaVoice recognized Arianpour for his visionary leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and ability to build and execute an innovative patient-centric data technology company that is revolutionizing drug development by connecting patients and their real-time real-world data directly with researchers. Under his leadership, SEQSTER has built an operating system that connects patients, researchers, sponsors and clinical trial sites together to accelerate drug development.

“I am deeply honored to be recognized for the PharmaVoice 100. My mission has always been to place the patient at the center of all their health data, breaking down data silos and transforming clinical research. Our operating system, which includes a digital front door for patients and researchers, has become the preferred technology solution driving real-time Real World Data connectivity, data refinement, and patient engagement for leading life sciences companies such as Boehringer Ingelheim, Takeda, UBC (United BioSource), and national patient registries such as the National Pancreas Foundation (NPF),” stated Ardy Arianpour.

Throughout a distinguished 20-year career in the life sciences sector, Ardy Arianpour has consistently demonstrated a relentless dedication to driving innovation and introducing disruptive products for both patients and researchers. Prior to founding SEQSTER, Arianpour had the privilege of launching various clinical and consumer-based genetic tests while serving as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Genomics at Ambry Genetics, a company that was acquired by Konica for $1 billion in 2017. One of Arianpour’s significant contributions was his pivotal role in the landmark 2013 SCOTUS decision that eliminated gene patents, democratizing access to genetic testing. The introduction of BRCA testing, in particular, had a profound impact on patients, caregivers and their families nationwide.

Arianpour has been widely recognized globally as a pioneer in healthcare with many awards, such as the American Heart Association Health Tech Award 2018, Top 40 Healthcare Transformer by Medical, Marketing, and Media (MM&M 2019), San Diego Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 in 2019, Top Tech Awards in 2021, Top 10 Pioneers Redefining Healthcare in 2021 and Med Tech World Rising Star 2022.

Since 2005, the PharmaVoice 100 has become one of the publication’s most anticipated features. PharmaVoice developed the only awards program in the industry to recognize individuals of all ages representing all sectors of the life sciences industry — from academia to nonprofit organizations to big pharma to emerging biotech companies to technology companies to commercial organizations that provide molecule-to-market services in support of moving the needle to benefit patients around the world. The PharmaVoice 100 continues to contain a diverse mix of people across a range of disciplines — from the clinic to the C-suite — who are making meaningful contributions in their fields of influence.

Arianpour will be presenting how SEQSTER powers pragmatic clinical trials with their newest partner, Optum Life Sciences, at DPHARM Conference - Disruptive Innovations to Modernize Clinical Research, September 21, 2023 at the Westin Copley Conference Center in Boston.

PharmaVoice will recognize this year’s honorees at the 2023 PharmaVoice 100 Exclusive Event: “The NextFrontier of the Life Sciences” on Oct. 25-26. Hosted by award-winning journalists, this event will feature a range of keynotes, panel discussions and fireside chats on the critical trends facing the industry including innovation, genetic medicine, research hot spots, the biotech market, clinical trial tech advancements and more.
