Long-Term Impact: Aggregating Data to Accelerate Innovations for Patients
To help make an impact for patients, it's important to have a comprehensive understanding of how a disease impacts their day-to-day lives. Michael Osso, Chief Executive Officer of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation knows this well. He and his team created a comprehensive research ecosystem that harnesses data– from reported anecdotes to clinical data, biosamples and more – to help researchers, patients, advocates and care teams get a holistic view of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and drive advancements in the space.
Sanofi host, Eric Racine and co-host Michael George discuss with him the importance of taking on such a large-scale project – one step at a time – and the dedication to building patient level data to inspire and accelerate research innovations for patients with IBD.
