Adam Foye, a New-Jersey sixth grader, has lived much of his life with weak muscles and uncertainty. Although his symptoms match most closely with the rare muscular disorder, Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), his genes tell a different story. The 11-year-old’s tests show no issues with the genes that indicate CNM. Adam’s mother, Sarah, said in a recent TIME story, “it has taken a very long time to get no answers.” Helping Others, Helping People, Muscle Disorders, Muscular Dystrophies, Clinical Trials, Graders, The Cure, Treatment, Take That

As vice president of public affairs at the Association of Clinical Research Organizations (ACRO), John Lewis understands the importance of supporting medical research. “Ultimately we’ll all be patients,” says John.

The magic of science-- Geoffrey Ling, deputy director of the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA, explained that in order to build meaningful partnerships, there needs to be a mutual understanding that the scientific community is not only made up of scientists, but also includes regulators, legislators, manufacturers, and patients. These strategic partnerships are essential if we really want to improve the speed and efficiency in which we move innovations into the hands of people that need them.
