The Hidden Cost of Unsafe Drugs — Dr. Djikolngar Maouyo's Journey from Chad to Scientific Innovation

Did you know that a staggering 90% of drugs fail before they ever reach patients? And it's not because they don't work, but because of contamination that our current testing methods often miss. This is a serious issue that demands our attention.

Unsafe drugs don't just cost money — they cost lives.

In my latest conversation on the STEAM Sparks Podcast, Dr. Djikolngar Maouyo

shares how faith, Science, and perseverance led him to build a company focused on saving lives by ensuring medicines are safe before they ever reach clinical trials.

Dr. Maouyo's journey, from surviving the civil war in Chad to pioneering innovation in drug safety in the U.S., is a testament to the power of human resilience and determination. It's a story that will inspire and connect with you.

✅ Science must serve humanity.

✅ Early testing saves lives and resources.

✅ Boldness and integrity are essential in STEM careers.

✅ And, as Dr. Maouyo says, "We are pilgrims on a knowledge journey."

This podcast episode is not just informative, it's a call to action.

This episode is not just about Dr. Maouyo's journey. It's a call to action, a challenge to all of us to rethink how we approach innovation, responsibility, and community impact in STEM and health sciences. It's time to step up and make a difference.
