Our CEO Bilal Bham is living with Grave's Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). As a patient and pharma/biotech professional, he wants to help patients, and biotechs researching the space, with his knowledge and experiences 🧪 argenx is one of those biotechs researching TED. Shelley Gerson, their head of patient advocacy, kindly invited Bilal to their offices in Ghent, Belgium, and interviewed him in front of an audience of #argenx colleagues about his life experiences as a patient, and how he saw the research space evolving as a pharma professional 💬 We thank #argenx colleagues for their kindness, time, and generosity in making this possible, and for endeavouring to help patients like Bilal for whom surgery is currently the only approved option (in the UK via the NHS) 🙌🏾 #patientadvocacy #gravesdisease #thyroideyedisease #autoimmunedisease
I am a registered Diverse Supplier helping biotech, pharma, and medical devices companies bring their products to market and patients through regulatory submissions and medical communications.
Throughout my 18 years so far in the pharma/biotech industry, I have striven to make a positive impact on the lives of patients through my skills and experiences as a medical writing professional. I never thought I would ever be in a position to impact patients as a patient myself 👨🏾⚕️ I have Grave's Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease, and I want to help as many patients and companies as I can who are living with or working with these diseases 🔬 My sincere gratitude and appreciation to Shelley Gerson of argenx for inviting me to Gent, Belgium, for an interview with her in front of an audience of #argenx colleagues sharing about my life experiences as a patient 😊 Thank you Dieter Defever and Estefanía Urdániz, PhD. for chaperoning me, Lisa Barton for arranging my travel and accommodation, and to so many colleagues, including Petra Van Vlierberghe, Ivaylo Stoykov, MD, PhD, and Jozef Michalicka, who took time out of their busy days to be in the audience, ask me questions, and speak to me afterwards 🙌🏾 #thyroideyedisease #gravesdisease #autoimmunedisease #patientadvocate #patientadvocacy
