During the Biotechnology Innovation Organization’s (BIO) monthly patient advocacy coffee chat entitled “Show Me the Evidence: Data to Understand and Break Down Patient Access Barriers,” PAN’s Chief Mission Officer, Amy Niles, shared her perspective.
“Data makes you credible; stories make you memorable,” said Amy.
In this BIO blog post about the coffee chat, Amy highlights the recent work of the PAN Foundation’s Center for Patient Research, which allows PAN to gain the perspectives of real-life patients and the challenges they are facing accessing care.
