Darren Bounds
CEO & Co-Founder
As someone having the lifelong autoimmune disease, ulcerative colitis, Darren was inspired to co-found Trusted Therapies to give fellow patients access to international experts so that patients can get detailed, accurate information about their diseases and the therapies available.
A 10-year career in the pharmaceutical industry enabled him to work with international experts on educational programs for other doctors. It was at these programs on Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis that Darren saw the wealth of information that expert doctors had access to. He wished his fellow patients could also have the privilege of tapping into the minds of the experts.
His wish came true when he partnered with international expert Dr. Brian Bressler and left his career in the pharmaceutical industry to start Trusted Therapies.
Darren studied molecular biology and biochemistry at Simon Fraser University.
