Today's STAT 2024 Breakthrough SUMMIT in East NY was a truly insightful experience. The speakers, who represented many disciplines of medicine, were 100% focused on patient care and access. It was refreshing to hear from top experts, CEOs, and patients on how to ensure that science benefits those who need it most.
One of the highlights of the summit was Nora Volkow, M.D., Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, who addressed the ongoing #opioidcrisis and the need for better access to care and life-saving medications. Her insights were truly inspiring.
As someone who works in the industry, I was impressed with the panels and discussions among attendees. It was great to see companies like Speranza Therapeutics at the forefront of addressing challenges, including increased AMA rates, limited access to medications, breaking the stigma associated with medication treatment and the disease itself, and partnering with treatment centers across the country to treat the ever-growing symptoms that accompany withdrawal.
Overall, the summit was a great reminder of the importance of focusing on patients in biotech and health tech. Attending and learning from such passionate and dedicated professionals was a privilege.
