9. Patient Perspective Episode - New Podcast in Patient Perspectives Series: A New Model for Funding Research http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 9.25Mb) Description: Patient Perspectives Podcast Series: A New Model for Funding Research. Beth Anne Baber, Ph.D., co-founder, CEO and president of The Nicholas Conor Institute, speaks about her son's (Conor's) cancer treatment journey when he was diagnosed with stage 3, high-risk neuroblastoma in July 2005. Because of the location of the tumor, surgery and radiation were not options, which left Conor to undergo high intensity chemotherapy. After seeing her son endure the side-effects of the powerful treatment, Baber envisioned an institute that would work with the biomedical community to find therapies that would reduce the severity of side-effects from cancer treatments and provide a better quality of life for children with cancer. Together with her colleagues Baber co-founded The Nicholas Conor Institute. |

10. Patient Perspective Episode - Searching For A Cure: Duchenne http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 8.29Mb) Description: CHI, The Burrill Report and the Children's Rare Disease Network released the latest episode of the Patient Perspectives Podcast Series: Searching for a Cure. Debra Miller, president and founder of Cure Duchenne, speaks about her son's journey through treatment after being diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and how his experiences inspired her husband, Paul, and her to start Cure Duchenne. DMD primarily affects young boys and causes progressive muscle loss; it is the leading genetic killer of children and most patients do not live past their teen years. As Miller and her husband explored treatment options and sought support, they found that existing patient advocacy organizations were often focused on palliative care and focused on academic research rather than working with industry to find a cure. In this episode of the Patient Perspectives Podcast Series, Miller speaks about new approaches to treating DMD and the problems of funding cutting-edge research in search of a cure. |
