We're proud to support Reflections, an innovative program launching in Atlanta this October to increase diversity and inclusion in clinical trials. Reflections aims to: • Raise awareness about the importance of diverse representation in medical research • Provide education on the clinical research process • Connect patients with local research opportunities • Address barriers to participation The program kicks off with a unique public art installation in Downtown Atlanta on October 13th, 2024, from 2:00 PM until sunset. The exhibit will be located at the corners of Ted Turner Dr SW and Nelson St SW, across from Wild Leap Atlanta. Interested in helping everyone be reflected in clinical research? You don't have to be local to Atlanta to make a difference. Visit Reflections' Facebook page (https://lnkd.in/eBf_qQSq) to learn more or reach out to ACP to discover how you can get involved. Together, we can ensure medical advancements benefit all communities. #ClinicalResearch #HealthcareEquity #Art #Atlanta

About us
The Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis (ACP) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to accelerate research efforts to improve diagnosis, optimize treatment, and to cure Multiple Sclerosis (MS). ACP believes that research is the only way to greatly improve the outlook for people with MS. The organization promotes scientific collaboration and accelerates research by rapidly and cost-effectively providing researchers with data and biospecimens they need to explore novel research ideas that can lead to better care for people with MS. Its strategic initiatives include: •The ACP Repository: A collection of highly characterized biosamples and data from over 3,000 subjects, available to any scientists conducting research that can positively impact people with MS •iConquerMS™ engages people with MS to help drive MS research by sharing their health information and connecting with researchers via an online portal (iConquerMS™) to accelerate efforts toward improving treatments and finding a cure for MS. The organization's innovative approach enables MS research to advance rapidly and catalyzes collaborative efforts toward a significant impact on this devastating disease. Its resources have supported 70 research studies worldwide and generated almost 300 million returned data points for collaborative data mining and disease modeling.

More than 3,200 people contributed valuable blood samples and data to the ACP Repository including those living with MS, other demyelinating diseases, and controls (those without a demyelinating disease). Their contributions enable research underpinning impactful discoveries such as Octave's multivariate biomarker test to measure disease activity in MS: https://lnkd.in/e6Yb2Q4D. Getting samples and data out the door and into the hands of MS researchers worldwide is a top priority for ACP. Thank you to all the Repository participants!
