“Patients are the center of our work; they are our preoccupation and the reason why we are where we are.” - Professor Isabelle Audo, M.D., Ph.D. As part of our ongoing Patient Voices: Deciding Our Futures campaign, we’re proud to feature Professor Isabelle audo, (Institut de la Vision, France, ERN-EYE member, Sorbonne Université, CHNO des Quinze-Vingts). Through her research on the molecular pathways involved in eye diseases, from gene to therapy, Professor Audo exemplifies how innovation thrives when patients remain at the heart of research. When patients contribute to shaping policy, the outcomes of research and care reflect real needs and lived experiences. Decisions made about health innovation must include those most affected, the patients and families whose lives depend on them. As legislative discussions continue across Europe and beyond, we stand with leaders like Professor Audo to ensure that patients remain at the table, helping to shape a future where innovation truly serves the people it’s meant to help. Her message reinforces why we must continue to #KeepPatientsVoting and ensure that the patient voice remains central to shaping health innovation worldwide. 🔗 Learn more about our campaign here: https://lnkd.in/e52RgbVM #PatientVoices #KeepPatientsVoting #Innovation #RetinaResearch #RareEyeDisease #RetinaInternational EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe European Patients'​ Forum
