Neal A. Patel

Neal Patel is a healthcare and biotechnology entrepreneur in both the Pharmaceutical and Biomedical marketplace. Neal founded his first clinical diagnostics company at the age of 23. Armed with a passion for enhancing the accessibility to healthcare for disparate communities, he launched a private R&D Laboratory, responsible for engineering disruptive, cost-effective diagnostic tests focused on several cardiovascular indications. Over the next 3 years, Neal had developed one of the largest dedicated Cardiology networks for molecular diagnostics and clinical research on the east coast.

Maximizing the power of strategic foresight, Neal began developing a crossover network between Cardiology and Nephrology and in 2018 Elixia was born. Elixia’s Cardio-Renal Network became the largest dedicated footprint for clinical trials in the Southeast and is currently the fastest growing clinical trials footprint within the Cardio-Renal specialty in North America.

Under his leadership, Elixia’s total enterprise value has more than quadrupled, the number of employees tripled and the company has received numerous accolades for its work across several therapeutic focuses. Elixia’s mission is to redevelop the landscape in which clinical trials have been conducted over the last 50 years and deliver a new environment where Clinical Trial Rollout, Conduct, and Management can occur at breakneck pace with an unparalleled level of quality.
