It has been an honor to take part in the ΣΦΕΕ / SFEE - Σύνδεσμος Φαρμακευτικών Επιχειρήσεων Ελλάδος Summit panel on 'EU Pharma Legislation: How It Could Impact Access and Innovation'. Europe stands at a pivotal moment in its journey of innovation. The question ahead of us is clear: Will we be pioneers in the field of biotechnology, or will we be followers? The urgency for swifter regulatory processes and enhanced access to innovative treatments for our patients has never been greater. In a world where new technologies are rapidly emerging, revising European legislation is imperative. Together, we have the power to forge the path forward and redefine the future of innovation in Europe and contributing the increased global #Competitiveness of the EU Biotech sector. Let's unite and propel Europe to the forefront of global innovation! Special thank you to organizers and healthcare leaders for the excellent exchange: Olga Solomon, Head of Unit Medicines, DG SANTE, European Commission Stelios Kympouropoulos, MEP, Coordinator - Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Aris Angelis, Secretary General for Strategic Planning, Ministry of Health Michael Himonas, General Manager, SFEE Dimitrios Athanasiou MBA, President, Rare Disease Greece; BoD World Duchenne Organization; PCWP Member European Medicines Agency Vasiliki Angouridi, Health Editor, News4Health.gr / Euractiv.com #SFEE #SFEESummit2024 #EUPharmaLegislation #HealthcareInnovation #EUCompetitiveness #AccessToInnovation

This will be an important discussion for biotech across sectors for the national, every day, opportunities and consequences of legislation. We look at cluster growth, employment, and how Europe needs to keep its eye on the prize of being a knowledge-driven economy. EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries

Shout out to Wellcome Trust for a funding application platform that verifies EVERYONE on the team agreed to submit AND for AMAZING support staff, especially PAUL. https://lnkd.in/dhR6ehy2 Paul answered the phone yesterday with our desperate call for help on why parts of our application form were not visible on the platform and kept guiding us every hour until 30 minutes before the deadline when we finally hit the submit button as a team. Orpha Ongiti as lead applicant. Corat Africa brought us together https://lnkd.in/dmJCjSAF On our team the heavy lifting came from Harrison Ndung'u Isaac Ondeche (Mwambogha) Kirika Kivuti Consensus: Even if we are not selected, over the past 6 months of developing the proposal, we have grown as a team and as friends. We will continue this journey together. Seeking Collaborators: Community-Based Health and Citizen Science Research Experts for Sickle Cell Disease Study We just submitted a Wellcome Trust request for funding in partnership with Corat Africa, Africa Nazarene University, Centre for Science and Technology Innovations (CSTI), Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, University of The Gambia, The Pathology Network, the UK-Kenya Global Health Innovation Network, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical School, Jimma University, Central Public Health Laboratory, climate change specialists, and health ministries. Call to Action We invite experts in community-based health research and citizen science to collaborate on this groundbreaking research program. Together, we can transform SCD management in East Africa and set a precedent for integrating technology, community engagement, and environmental monitoring to improve health outcomes. Research Title: Climate-Smart Sickle Cell Management in East Africa: Harnessing Citizen Science, AI, and Environmental Monitoring One day we will have fantastic research facility spaces with shared equipment across Africa...

A Summary of Junior Activities at the 2023 EAACI Congress  Dr. Isabel Fernandez de Alba Porcel From the WAO Junior Member Group committee, we would like to present you a summary of the different activities and highlights of the European congress that took place in Hamburg, Germany from 9 to 11 June, 2023. There have been numerous scientific sessions given exclusively by young allergists and they are always open to all congress attendees. On the first day, there were two junior scientific sessions about immunity and its in-depth analysis with new developments, as well as another session about the relationship between sports and respiratory diseases. This is also the day that the first informal meeting between the juniors took place! After the congress, we got to know each other better over drinks. Networking and getting to know each other in person after so many emails is a great incentive and helps us to create common projects. The second day, more junior sessions took place, such as the one on immunomodulatory responses. It was a great day since we were lucky enough to meet in person with the whole WAO Junior board! New projects kept coming up, and the synergies that are created in face-to-face meetings are powerful. Not to be missed, there was also a prize-giving ceremony for a junior member by the whole European society. To end the day, we had an educational cocktail in the poster area where we had the opportunity to greet each other again. The congress could not have ended better on the last day with interesting junior sessions, such as "How to maximize research impact?", which were very useful and some specific sessions of clinical cases. We are thankful and excited to have had the opportunity to keep on learning together in new projects to come. Source: https://lnkd.in/gc4j7N6T #waojm #eaaci2023

We’re thrilled at the news of this unprecedented partnership launched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Novo Nordisk Foundation, and Wellcome Trust to accelerate global health access and equity. At Nexleaf, we've seen the impact of climate change and disasters like recent storms in East Africa in the continuous data we mobilize from health facilities. It's clear that there is an enormous unmet need for solutions that address the nexus of climate and health for low-income countries. To make meaningful progress on public health goals while tackling the risks posed by climate change, we must engage experts on the ground, support research rooted in the countries it serves, and collaborate with governments to scale tech and scientific breakthroughs in the hardest-to-reach places. We’ll be following developments from this initiative closely as we continue to do our part to build resilient, data-powered medical equipment and vaccine systems that improve the health of all patients. #ClimateAndHealth #GlobalHealth #TechForGood #DataForGood

🫁 Respiratory conditions are currently not a top priority, not only in Europe but also worldwide. Miquel Díaz Pascual from Sanofi emphasizes the significance of building a large community of patient groups collaborating with medical societies. By working together, they can create more educational resources for #patients to access reliable information and empower themselves to advocate for their #health. Miquel believes that EUFOREA is filling the huge gap in upper airways and is the only organisation focusing on upper respiratory airways.
