Patient Advocates In Research (PAIR)

Bio

Deborah Collyar founded the Patient Advocates in Research (PAIR) international communication network, "where research meets reality." Her leadership in patient engagement and advocacy started in the 1990s after her first cancer diagnosis. Deborah applies her business leadership, IT, and communication skills to bridge gaps between scientists, medical providers, governments, and patients. Deborah infuses patient representatives into projects and gathers relevant patient input, encompassing many diseases, programs and policies at grassroots, national and international levels with companies, academia, and governments. Key insights are delivered throughout development, clinical trials, results reporting, data-sharing, standards, genomics, and into practice.
