September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️ This month, we come together to raise awareness about the courageous children and families affected by pediatric cancer. 🎗️ With childhood cancer being the leading cause of disease-related deaths in children, it’s heartbreaking that only 4% of cancer research funding is directed toward pediatric cases. At Discover International, we are honored to work alongside companies at the forefront of researching new treatments and potential cures who are committed to advancing pediatric cancer research, bringing hope, and moving closer to a future where every child has a chance at a healthy life. Let’s all do our part by spreading awareness, supporting research, and standing in solidarity with these young warriors and their families. Every effort counts. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #CancerResearch #ChildhoodCancer #CureCancer #TogetherWeFight #HopeForKids 

An exec-turned-patient became a trailblazer in Drug Development and patient advocacy and helped revolutionize multiple myeloma treatment. In 1996, Kathy Giusti was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and given just three years to live. One reason she’s still alive today: The former drug company executive founded the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation in 1998, which has since raised more than $600 million for research, launched nearly 100 clinical trials, and helped bring more than 15 new drugs to market. “We would not be where we are today in the treatment of multiple myeloma without Kathy’s leadership,” FDA oncology chief Richard Pazdur told STAT. “That she took everything she knew about the pharmaceutical industry, having been part of it, and has really built a powerful advocacy for multiple myeloma patients, is remarkable,” the former CEO of a myeloma-focused biotech separately told STAT.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month 💉 At Discover International, we understand the critical role that immunizations play in protecting the health of our communities. National Immunization Awareness Month is a time to emphasize the importance of vaccines in preventing diseases and keeping us all safe. Vaccines have proven to save millions of lives by preventing diseases such as measles, polio, influenza, and more. - Vaccinations not only protect the individual but also help safeguard those who are vulnerable, including infants, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.  - Staying up to date on immunizations helps prevent outbreaks and reduces the spread of contagious diseases.  - Immunization is a shared responsibility. By getting vaccinated, we contribute to the overall health and safety of our communities. Let’s take this opportunity to ensure that we, our families, and our communities are protected. Together, we can promote healthier lives for everyone. 🌍 #NationalImmunizationAwarenessMonth #VaccinesWork #CommunityHealth

Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. ✅ Spread the Word: Share information about Hepatitis with your network. Awareness is the first step towards prevention and treatment. ✅ Support Organizations: Consider donating to or volunteering with organizations dedicated to Hepatitis research, education, and support. Together, we can make a difference.

There has been talk for some time of the potential for GPL-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to be useful in treating a multitude of other chronic conditions. Included are reports of unexpected pregnancies among women on GLP-1 treatment. As a result researchers have pondered as to the possible effects of GLP-1 drugs on fertility. Biopharma Dive detail an upcoming study designed to establish whether GLP-1 drugs specifically can help women with hormonal disorders and fertility. https://lnkd.in/eR7_FN4E
