ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Neuro-Reach was founded by Ralph Satija, a driven student, researcher, and advocate for accessible brain health education. As the founder and president of the Neuroscience Club at Strake Jesuit, Ralph has immersed himself in both clinical and community neurological work from a young age. Motivated by a desire to shed light on overlooked conditions like Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and other neurocognitive disorders, he launched Neuro-Reach to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world awareness. Ralph’s mission is rooted in empathy, advocacy, and education—empowering others to better understand the brain and take action.
My Story
What started as a fascination with how the brain works quickly grew into a mission to make neuroscience more human. Volunteering with individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and epilepsy showed me how often these conditions are overlooked or misunderstood. Neuro-Reach is my way of bringing that vision to life, where education meets empathy.
