This virtual event, hosted by MichBio, the statewide biosciences industry association, will bring Michigan's patient advocacy community together with the statewide biosciences industry, policymakers, and thought leaders 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.
