A Global Dialogue on Cell and Gene Therapy
Listen on:
Our purpose. Our motivation. Our why.
Dr. Smita Karpate is a clinician-founder and emerging global voice at the intersection of cell and gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and translational science. Trained as a physician in India, her work has evolved beyond traditional clinical practice into a mission-driven pursuit: ensuring that the most advanced breakthroughs in medicine truly reach clinicians, patients, and health systems.
As the host of The Cure Circle, Dr. Smita creates a rare space where science meets lived clinical reality. Her conversations bring together scientists, clinicians, innovators, and policy leaders to explore not just what is possible in modern medicine, but how cures move from the laboratory to the bedside – ethically, accessibly, and at global scale.

Through her platforms – InScience (healthcare strategy and insights), Health Commune (patient-centric education), and NXT Health (a collaborative ecosystem for innovators and clinicians), she has consistently focused on translating complexity into clarity.
The Cure Circle represents the convergence of this journey: a clinician-led global dialogue redefining what it means to heal.
Cell & Gene Therapy is the biggest shift in medicine in the last 100 years, a move from managing disease to curing it. CGT is where science is actively rewriting biology, restoring function, and giving patients hope that did not exist before.
CGT is the future of curative medicine. For the first time, medicine can correct genes, replace damaged cells, and rebuild tissues, offering true cures for diseases once thought irreversible.
Therapies like CAR-T, AAV gene delivery, iPSCs, MSCs, exosomes, and CRISPR are advancing faster than medical education can keep up. The Cure Circle helps clinicians understand what’s real, what’s ready, and what’s next.
India and emerging regions are rapidly becoming hubs for validation, scale-up, manufacturing, and clinical translation. Yet their presence is missing in global CGT conversations. The world needs a global dialogue, especially emerging markets, The Cure Circle fills that gap.
CGT brings both promise and confusion. Our platform helps patients and families understand science without fear and with compassion.
