In this interview excerpt, Dr. Nayan Patel explains how his mid‑1990s pharmacy education sparked a desire to move beyond merely managing symptoms toward solving underlying biochemical problems. Disillusioned with conventional approaches, he identified glutathione—the body’s “master antioxidant”—as a pivotal target. His research focus became finding a way to deliver exogenous glutathione into the body, specifically to the mitochondria where it exerts its protective effects. This motivation underpins his current work on glutathione delivery systems.

Chapters

I want to dig into what inspired you to focus your research on glutathione and how did your journey in pharmacy lead you to this groundbreaking result?
Well, mid-'90s when I first graduated from pharmacy school, it was kind of an exciting time in my life because first time now I'm able to help people live the best years of their life with me and quickly realized that no, I mean, oh my goodness, all we were doing is managing people's problems. No, we're not solving any problems. And so quickly led to me and said, this is, this is not the way I would like to live my life. All led to, to me is that, hey, I need to work on the master antioxidant glutathione. And my job as a pharmacist, try to figure out, can I get this glutathione molecule from anywhere outside the human body inside the body where it's supposed to be, which is at the mitochondria. And so that's what led to all this research for me.
