STAT Brand Studio

At this year’s STAT Breakthrough Summit West, @Jared Baeten and I sat down with the STAT team to discuss Gilead’s approach to HIV innovation and what drives our commitment each day to end the HIV epidemic for everyone, everywhere. Read more here.

This was such an energizing STAT Brand Studio virtual event with Enrica Alteri (formerly of the European Medicines Agency), Anne Lyerly (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and Ngawai Moss (Queen Mary University of London/Elly Charity) — three dynamic leaders changing the way pregnant and breastfeeding individuals with #chronicdisease participate in medical research and receive care. Their work — and the BRIDGE collective — is unapologetically transforming the paradigm and eliminating the information gap for this worldwide group of patients, full stop. https://lnkd.in/gSzk43QY Moderator: Jesse McQuarters Thanks to: STAT News, UCB, Porter Novelli, Nichole Anton Rothkopf, Rabin Martin, Emma Thompson, and the members of BRIDGE for their support

Such a joy to moderate an insightful #AIinHealthcare STAT Brand Studio virtual event this week! Kunal Chokshi (Merck Oncology), Dr. Gazala Khan (Henry Ford Hospital), and Miriem Sefta (Owkin) explored the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in histopathology and medical diagnostics. Key Takeaways: 1. Early Detection & Personalized Treatment: AI enhances precision in cancer diagnostics, enabling tailored treatments for individual patients. 2. Speed & Efficiency: AI tools significantly reduce diagnostic turnaround times, crucial for timely interventions. 3. Predictive Analytics: AI's ability to predict patient outcomes and biomarker presence revolutionizes treatment planning. 4. Data Integration: AI seamlessly integrates vast clinical data, improving workflow and decision-making in #oncology. #PrecisionMedicine #DigitalPathology #MedicalInnovation #HealthTech #STATSTAT

It was a great pleasure to host a conversation with Dr. Nicholas Ashton of Banner Health and the University of Gothenburg on recent advances in blood biomarkers for #alzheimers #disease. One highlight: the Quanterix ALZpath assay's 95% accuracy in detecting Alzheimer's pathology, demonstrating strong concordance with gold-standard amyloid PET scans in a much less intensive blood test (results published Jan 22nd, 2024 in JAMA Neurology) This advancement is one of many underscoring progress in early detection and testing platforms. #AlzheimersResearch #Innovation Moderated by Jesse McQuarters, link below in the comments.

The greatest minds in all of cancer research were gathered in once place—and we couldn’t feel more confident that more cures are on the way. Special thanks to STAT for hosting us last Friday in Chicago. The evening was buzzing with connection and vibrant discussions. #ASCO #oncology #cancerresearch #innovation

Doctors and hospitals can no longer afford to take the nation’s 48 million family caregivers for granted. These caregivers serve as the backbone of the long-term care system, handling everything from household chores to complex medical tasks. STAT Brand Studio recently spoke with AARP's Nancy LeaMond and Rush University Medical Center's Robyn Golden about national initiatives in family caregiving that are already showing impressive results.

📺If you missed the #STAT event, watch the video! https://lnkd.in/eGuGTUH5 Anne Lyerly, Enrica Alteri and I delved into vital issues affecting #pregnant & #breastfeeding #women living with #chronic #diseases and the challenges they face due to the lack of data and information. We highlighted some of the action-oriented #practical #solutions to close the information gaps highlighted in the new #BRIDGE report released by the multidisciplinary BRIDGE Commission.

When it comes to transformative healthcare, breakthrough science is but the first step. For that science to reach everyone in need, our innovations must accurately reflect the real-world needs and experiences of all patients. This means understanding both the clinical and non-clinical barriers that prevent effective screening, diagnosis, and treatment of serious diseases.    How do we put our patients and their lived experiences at the center of all we do, from research to commercialization? By putting "patients in the room", I believe we can make decisions that reduce the non-clinical barriers patients face in accessing the medicines they need.    Recently, I spoke with Nicholas St. Fleur at the #STATBreakthrough Summit East about how this patient obsession is at the heart of the work we do at @Novartis. It is only when we walk in our patients’ shoes and emulate the same drive and urgency they embrace in fighting life-threatening and chronic diseases, that we will truly reimagine medicine, equitably and at scale.

Couldn't be prouder of our STAT editorial colleagues on this fantastic achievement!

Dr. Andrea Califano, president of the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network's NY branch, is assembling a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team of scientists to do something completely novel: teach the immune system to detect — and ultimately treat — many diseases before they progress and become untreatable. “The potential is there. Immune cells are the only ones that can reach virtually every single organ in our body and have the potential of actually fixing diseases on contact.” Link in comments to the STAT Brand Studio article with details. #Chan Zuckerberg Initiative #STAT #biotech #science
