She knows cancer is relentless, having watched family and close friends face the disease.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Their stories, and the enduring impact of the disease, inspired her to pursue a career finding potential treatments for patients. They also made her aware that cancer wouldn’t stop -- even during a pandemic.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Learn about her work during #COVID19 to support cancer patients. ⁠⠀ //⁠⠀ What challenges has your team faced during the pandemic?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ It was particularly challenging for clinical trials--patients didn’t want to come back to the hospital for their regular visits.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ So our focus was: how do we enable patients to stay in the study, how do we get them their treatment medication, & how do we ensure that we can continue monitoring our patients to make sure they don’t experience side-effects.⁠⠀ //⁠⠀ How has your group adapted to such obstacles?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ Our medical affairs teams globally have done immense work in developing information on how to support cancer patients treated with Novartis drugs during the pandemic. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ We also initiated a number of activities to generate clinical data that helps us understand how cancer patients are doing in this pandemic.⁠⠀ //⁠⠀ What has your team learned from this work?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ How far you can go with collaboration. During this pandemic, we saw an unprecedented level of collaboration. It was like the Berlin Wall falling down. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ We were all united working together. We found ways to share information and solve problems in record time. The collaboration was phenomenal.⁠⠀ //⁠⠀ For more on Myriam’s work in the fight against cancer & #coronavirus, click the link in bio⁠」7月23日 23時01分
