Fireside Chat: Science as the Social Justice Issue of our Time and the Role of Patient Advocacy
30 minutes
Patient advocates can be a critical part of the solution to addressing inequality and injustice – both in how we build teams, how we think about suppliers, and how we approach developing and testing therapies. In this fireside chat, Dr. Michelle McMurry Heath of BIO and Liz Lewis of Takeda will explore this concept, and ask tough questions around how to build trust with communities of color to ensure representation in clinical trials, how to create successful coalitions of patient advocates to drive change in our ecosystem, and more.
