Pms Pathways Podcast

On the second episode of the PMS Pathways Podcast, Jackie interviews Megan O'Boyle, mom to Shannon and the Principal Investigator of the PMS International Registry. They spend this episode talking about the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the NIH institutes that are most relevant to PMS, and Megan's role in advocating for our community on a national platform. Megan has been appointed to serve on the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Advisory Council and she has been appointed to represent NCATS on the Council of Councils. So what is translational medicine, exactly, and why should our families care? Tune into this episode to get those answers. Shortly after this episode was recorded NCATS released an updated "Translational Road Maps" an interactive map of drug discovery, development, and deployment.  If you have questions or suggestions for future episodes, please reach out to Jackie Jacobs, the Family Engagement Specialist, at jackie@pmsf.org.
