This virtual event will bring Michigan’s patient advocacy community together with the statewide biosciences industry, as well as with policymakers and thought leaders, to find ways to advance new technologies, treatments and cures through patient-centric engagement.
The Forum will showcase efforts, best practices and evolving thinking of how the biosciences industry, regulators and others are more fully incorporating the patient voice from idea to market. The goal is to empower patient advocacy stakeholders, explore collaborations, understand advocacy priorities, and seek a better understanding of patients’ hopes, needs, and challenges here in Michigan.
