Brian Duggan
Founder
Brian Duggan is the Founder of Citizen Science for Health, a non-profit dedicated to increasing patient empowerment and transforming medical research.
This effort has grown out of his experience participating in a number of clinical trials.
He has found that while trials can provide access to new data and insights, the slow pace of medical research—especially in key areas like neurology—can also lead to frustration.
Brian is also the founder of Building Alliances. For over 25 years, he has been a thought leader in fields including health, sustainability, marketing and technology, and has worked to create positive partnerships for non-profits, events, and media companies.
His past and current clients include Harvard Business School Publishing, Fast Company, NewCo Shift Forum, Business Insider, Eco Expo, West Coast Green, Body & Soul, the 4A's, and Whole Life Expo, among many others.
He has created two online media entities: ConferenceBites, which posts the best soundbites from leading events, and CitizenScienceforHealth.org, which focuses on health and health events.
