I was struck by the openness and honesty of the community as they shared their physical and emotional struggles and the importance of speaking up. Engaging with the HS community and witnessing their strength and perseverance is one of the most rewarding and inspiring parts of my job at ֳ. &nbsp;</p><p>Hearing insights and experiences from the HS community have encouraged our drive to bring a new treatment option to people living with this painful, chronic inflammatory skin condition. Today, I’m excited and proud that dermatologists have more options than ever to effectively manage HS.</p><p>Our efforts to support both patients and clinicians are ongoing and go far beyond treatment. One big initiative is supporting a registry of HS patients in partnership with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), which will facilitate research of this disease through collaboration between investigators, clinicians, patients, and industry to improve the lives of people living with HS. We are also proud to sponsor the HS Papaya app, which was developed by two leading HS physicians to help people living with HS track their symptoms and communicate those to their provider, connect with an HS center of excellence, and more. And at the recent Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) conference, we shared new HS data and met with key third party medical and patient advocacy organizations to advance our collaborative initiatives. These are just a few of the things we’re doing as we aim to establish leadership in HS and dermatology. &nbsp;<br><br>As advocacy leader Brindley Brooks, co-founder and president of HS Connect, said at the HS Summit, “There’s never a good time to have HS, but there’s never been a better time to have HS.” I am inspired each day as I work alongside those with such a dedication to improving the lives of people impacted by HS. It is a hopeful time. As we forge forward, I know that there will continue to be more treatment options, awareness, and support resources for HS patients – and I am honored to be part of this new era for HS care.</p><article data-quickedit-entity-id="media/46837" class="align-center media media--type-image media--view-mode-default"> <div class="field field--name-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__items"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/ucb_header_image/public/2024-11/ucb_immunology_bimzelx-hs_rhonda-qc_16x9_v6_0.png.webp?itok=5aTrVrqR" width="1920" height="1080" alt typeof="foaf:Image"> </div> </article> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1907" hreflang="en">about ucb</a> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/6001" hreflang="en">HS </a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1702" hreflang="en"> dermatology</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1387" hreflang="en"> science</a> </div> <div> <div class="comments-wrapper"> <div class="comment-area"> <h2 class="red">Leave a Comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=15382&amp;2=field_newsroom_askexpert&amp;3=ask_expert" token="gTGMTRAwQMNtk3HrxpgIFjlOi6dzs7V2nWnBKEHvXkA"></drupal-render-placeholder> <span class="toggle-form js-toggle-form"></span> </div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_16 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="/about-ucb/magazine/detail/article/closing-gaps-in-hs-care-through-community-engagement-and-scientific-innovation" data-a2a-title="Closing gaps in HS care through community engagement and scientific innovation"><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucb.com%2Fabout-ucb%2Fmagazine%2Fdetail%2Farticle%2Fclosing-gaps-in-hs-care-through-community-engagement-and-scientific-innovation&amp;title=Closing%20gaps%20in%20HS%20care%20through%20community%20engagement%20and%20scientific%20innovation"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_facebook"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/facebook-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_linkedin"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/linkedin-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_twitter"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/twitter-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="twitter"></a></span> <div class="field field--name-field-like field--type-likes-dislikes field--label-above field__items"> <div class="like_dislike"> <div class="like"> <a rel="nofollow" class="use-ajax" href="/like-dislike/like/eyJlbnRpdHlfdHlwZSI6Im5vZGUiLCJlbnRpdHlfaWQiOiIxNTM4MiIsImZpZWxkX25hbWUiOiJmaWVsZF9saWtlIiwibGlrZXMiOiIxMTEiLCJkaXNsaWtlcyI6IjAifQ%3D%3D"></a> <span class="like-15382"> 111 Likes </span> </div> </div> <div id="like_dislike_status"></div> </div> Wed, 20 Nov 2024 10:25:57 +0000 Borysiuk Viktor (External) 15382 at World Arthritis Day 2024: Informed Choices, Better Outcomes /about-ucb/magazine/detail/article/world-arthritis-day-2024-informed-choices-better-outcomes <span>World Arthritis Day 2024: Informed Choices, Better Outcomes</span> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-author-title field--type-string field--label-above field__items"> Marie Teil, Special Patient Populations </div> <span><span lang about="/user/9417" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>Andrea_Puletto</span></span> <span><time datetime="2024-10-11T11:33:47+02:00" title="Friday 11 October 2024 - 11:33">Fri 11/10/2024 - 11:33</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-author-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-default"> <div class="field field--name-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__items"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/ucb_header_image/public/2023-03/Marie%20Teil.jpg.webp?itok=oS_HubC2" width="100" height="100" typeof="foaf:Image"> </div> </article> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-content field--type-text-long field--label-above field__items"> <p><br>On October 12, World Arthritis Day will raise awareness about the realities of living with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) and to advocate for better research, education, and patient support. On this day, we are all reminded of our collective responsibility to empower those affected by RMDs – including women and their families who lack concrete data and clear guidance about disease management and treatment, particularly during pregnancy and breastfeeding.</p><p>This year’s theme – “Informed Choices, Better Outcomes” – underscores how important it is for people living with RMDs to make informed, evidence-based decisions in partnership with their healthcare teams. Despite the notion that there is an overwhelming amount of information for people with RMDs to access, this is simply not the case for women in their childbearing years who seek robust and relevant data.&nbsp;</p><p>So much of my role at ֳ as the Global Head of Women of Childbearing Age has centered around the idea that women need to be protected through research, not from research. We cannot allow women with chronic diseases to be continuously overlooked in clinical research due to perceived liability and risk. Although progress has been made in this space, additional work is needed to create a more balanced view in clinical research.&nbsp;</p><p>Supporting World Arthritis Day 2024 and uniting with a global community dedicated to bringing evidence and research to patients is a step in the right direction. There is great power in collaboration, and it begins with facing the challenge head-on and recognizing that there is more work to be done to help improve patient outcomes.&nbsp;</p><p>Join us in raising awareness by sharing this post and supporting research initiatives. Together, we can support those living with RMDs and strive for a future where everyone can live their lives to the fullest without fear or uncertainty of how certain disease management decisions will impact them or their families.

In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the digitalization of healthcare, is set to create new standards and advancements in care for people living with epilepsy and rare epileptic syndromes. This digitalization is revolutionizing the way we understand and approach these complex neurological disorders, with AI helping us to push the boundaries of healthcare and drug development by enabling us to support more precise diagnoses, detect patterns and trends, and aid disease prevention.<br><br>However, the successful integration of AI into healthcare relies heavily on a foundation of trust – trust from the public, medical professionals, and caregivers. We understand that this trust has improved drastically over the past few years, with events like COVID-19 necessitating remote digital healthcare, but there remains a distrust in the public domain. The main questions we are being asked are “<em>Where is my data being used?</em>”, “<em>Who is looking at my data?</em>” and “<em>How will my data be used?</em>”<br><br>Because of this, it is our role as experts in neurology to address these questions and be transparent. While the challenge of trust is not specific to ֳ but industry-wide, we are continuously working to build that trust with patients, caregivers, and medical professionals.<br>Collaboration and partnerships are an essential way to build trust, and we know that we cannot do this alone. We must turn to expert digital partners, such as Microsoft, to support us on this journey. The continuous work we do together establishes a strong foundation for the future and landscape of neurology.<br><br>One example of how we’re using AI is the development of wearable technology – being able to track movement disorders not only helps patients but also increases our own understanding of how they manage their condition. The development of this technology also allows us to monitor patient data in real-time but has also enabled us to engage with a larger, more diverse patient pool within remote clinical trials. We can collect more data and ensure we secure better equity around patients, effectively reaching underserved populations.<br><br>Another area we are currently exploring is the use of ‘<em>Digital Twins</em>’ - a digital copy - to accurately reflect a physical human brain. The use of this modeling technology could assist in identifying the pattern of symptomatic behaviors such as seizures and, in principle, help medical professionals to individualize treatment based on the simulated behavior to predict how a specific patient might react to treatment.<br><br>Given the digital landscape is evolving rapidly, we must keep up with the pace and constantly look at ways we can digitalize our offering to secure a better outcome for our patients. It has never been more important to provide the best outcome for a patient across their entire journey and digital technology can help us achieve that.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1910" hreflang="en">innovation</a> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1387" hreflang="en"> science</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1226" hreflang="en">Patients</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1738" hreflang="en"> Artificial Intelligence</a> </div> <div> <div class="comments-wrapper"> <div class="comment-area"> <h2 class="red">Leave a Comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=14938&amp;2=field_newsroom_askexpert&amp;3=ask_expert" token="eu9gtVrBLTcWXDmzI7zQD79Telkz_nxP5MHDCzG5SEY"></drupal-render-placeholder> <span class="toggle-form js-toggle-form"></span> </div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_16 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="/innovation/magazine/detail/article/building-trust-the-crucial-bridge-between-ai-and-healthcare" data-a2a-title="Building trust: The crucial bridge between AI and healthcare "><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucb.com%2Finnovation%2Fmagazine%2Fdetail%2Farticle%2Fbuilding-trust-the-crucial-bridge-between-ai-and-healthcare&amp;title=Building%20trust%3A%20The%20crucial%20bridge%20between%20AI%20and%20healthcare%20"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_facebook"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/facebook-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_linkedin"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/linkedin-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_twitter"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/twitter-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="twitter"></a></span> <div class="field field--name-field-like field--type-likes-dislikes field--label-above field__items"> <div class="like_dislike"> <div class="like"> <a rel="nofollow" class="use-ajax" href="/like-dislike/like/eyJlbnRpdHlfdHlwZSI6Im5vZGUiLCJlbnRpdHlfaWQiOiIxNDkzOCIsImZpZWxkX25hbWUiOiJmaWVsZF9saWtlIiwibGlrZXMiOiI2NjgiLCJkaXNsaWtlcyI6IjMxOCJ9"></a> <span class="like-14938"> 668 Likes </span> </div> </div> <div id="like_dislike_status"></div> </div> Fri, 15 Dec 2023 08:58:16 +0000 Chiara Vona 14938 at We are ֳ and we are driven by science /innovation/magazine/detail/article/we-are-ucb-and-we-are-driven-by-science <span>We are ֳ and we are driven by science </span> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-author-title field--type-string field--label-above field__items"> Scott Fleming, Global Communications &amp; Company Reputation </div> <span><span lang about="/user/9411" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype>Chiara Vona</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-12-13T13:45:49+01:00" title="Wednesday 13 December 2023 - 13:45">Wed 13/12/2023 - 13:45</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-author-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-default"> <div class="field field--name-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__items"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/ucb_header_image/public/author_images/Scott_head_57.jpg.webp?itok=Bn_kJmUJ" width="50" height="63" typeof="foaf:Image"> </div> </article> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-content field--type-text-long field--label-above field__items"> <p><br>At ֳ we are ‘driven by science’, it’s a key aspect of our culture.

Big name partnerships are never far from the front pages, but successful partnerships come in all shapes and sizes.&nbsp;<br> <br> At ֳ, there’s one form of partnership that we’ve found to be more transformative than any other and that’s the partnership with patients. To help bring innovation to our science, we work hard to build a trusted partnership with patients. We take the time to listen and learn from patients as this provides us with insights on the personal impact of their condition. Insights that don’t come from trial data or the test tube.</p> <h3><br> Patient-Centered Insights: The Art of Listening</h3> <p>The art of listening goes beyond just hearing words; it involves active engagement with the speaker. True listening grants us a deeper understanding and appreciation of others' perspectives and emotions. Through empathetic listening, we can better support and show compassion.&nbsp;<br> <br> Each person holds a unique experience and knowledge, and by attentively listening, we gain valuable insights that enrich our own understanding. The act of genuine listening allows us to learn from other’s successes, failures, and diverse experiences, expanding our knowledge beyond what we could achieve individually.<br> &nbsp;</p> <h3>Cultivating Patient-Centricity: ֳ's Purpose-Driven Research and Development</h3> <p>It’s an empowering way to work. Often, in research and development, where innovations are sometimes decades in the making, you can feel extracted from the focus of your research efforts. For us, the constant feedback loop from patients allows innovation in science to thrive. It’s why we come to work: to listen, to learn, and to make a real difference to the lives of patients suffering from severe diseases, every day.&nbsp;<br> <br> To learn more about how innovation drives everything we do visit <a href="/our-science/Innovation-is">Innovation is | ֳ</a><br> &nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;tab-stops:42.55pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#242424;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;

This process involves the applicant, or mentee, working with a ֳ mentor who has previously achieved CChem status, to fulfil 14 attributes defined by the RSC.<br> <br> The CChem status demonstrates a commitment to the continued advancement of the chemical sciences and their learning and continued professional development as whole.<br> <br> Meet one of our current mentees, Justin Staniforth.&nbsp;<br> <br> Earlier this month, Justin was invited to give a short talk at the Annual RSC CChem Conference.&nbsp;<br> <br> In doing so Justin covered the topic of ethical practice in his ֳ role and discussed how he goes about creating an open and engaging atmosphere to encourage his colleagues to act in an ethical fashion. Justin showcased his career journey at ֳ so far and finished by reflecting on how ethical behaviors are demonstrated in the CChem attributes.&nbsp;<br> <br> This was followed by breakout sessions and robust discussion with conference attendees. The talk was well-received and greatly appreciated by the RSC, with the event contributing as evidence for Justin’s ongoing portfolio to achieve CChem status.<br> <br> “The best thing about the CChem program is being recognized for what you do on a daily basis”, Justin commented. “Being a mentee is a valuable way to step back and review what you do and how you can do it better and make more positive contributions to both the department and the company as a whole”.&nbsp;<br> <br> “We are proud of our CChem Program,” says James Frost, ֳ Principal Scientist, Medicinal Chemistry, and Co-ordinator of the initiative. “We are re-accredited every five years by the Society and we make efforts to bring in mentees from different backgrounds who can then pass on their learnings.”&nbsp;<br> <br> “As part of our outreach program, I am keen to get the younger generations involved. Most of the mentees go on to become mentors themselves,” he added.</p> <table border="3" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>The 14 attributes of the 2-year program defined by RSC span 5 key areas:</p> <ol> <li>Demonstrate and develop your knowledge of the chemical sciences</li> <li>Professionalism</li> <li>Communication and Influencing Skills</li> <li>Professional Responsibilities</li> <li>Supporting the Profession</li> </ol> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Fulfilment of the 14 attributes is demonstrated by the applicant by collecting a portfolio of evidence over the 2-year mentoring period, followed by a final examination by the RSC and an external examiner.&nbsp;<br> <br> Justin concludes: “I would encourage anybody considering applying to undertake the CChem accreditation scheme, not to hesitate and sign up! It has helped me focus on adding value to what I do on a daily basis, by stopping to think about how I can do things differently to make more of a positive contribution”.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1907" hreflang="en">about ucb</a> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1346" hreflang="en"> partnerships</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/10415" hreflang="en">chemistry</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1387" hreflang="en"> science</a> </div> <div> <div class="comments-wrapper"> <div class="comment-area"> <h2 class="red">Leave a Comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=14850&amp;2=field_newsroom_askexpert&amp;3=ask_expert" token="hVT4aGCGcoA6-nVA44UMp1ohjJTctU0EC5OiyRwRONk"></drupal-render-placeholder> <span class="toggle-form js-toggle-form"></span> </div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_16 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="/about-ucb/magazine/detail/article/ucb-partnership-with-the-royal-society-of-chemistry-showcased-at-annual-conference" data-a2a-title="ֳ partnership with the Royal Society of Chemistry showcased at Annual Conference"><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucb.com%2Fabout-ucb%2Fmagazine%2Fdetail%2Farticle%2Fucb-partnership-with-the-royal-society-of-chemistry-showcased-at-annual-conference&amp;title=ֳ%20partnership%20with%20the%20Royal%20Society%20of%20Chemistry%20showcased%20at%20Annual%20Conference"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_facebook"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/facebook-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_linkedin"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/linkedin-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_twitter"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/twitter-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="twitter"></a></span> <div class="field field--name-field-like field--type-likes-dislikes field--label-above field__items"> <div class="like_dislike"> <div class="like"> <a rel="nofollow" class="use-ajax" href="/like-dislike/like/eyJlbnRpdHlfdHlwZSI6Im5vZGUiLCJlbnRpdHlfaWQiOiIxNDg1MCIsImZpZWxkX25hbWUiOiJmaWVsZF9saWtlIiwibGlrZXMiOiI0MTEiLCJkaXNsaWtlcyI6Ii01NyJ9"></a> <span class="like-14850"> 411 Likes </span> </div> </div> <div id="like_dislike_status"></div> </div> Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:23:20 +0000 Chiara Vona 14850 at
