In partnership, the CGA-IGC Education and Research Committees are pleased to present the first episode of a three-part series focused on Research Collaborations.
This episode is hosted by Joshua Melson, MD, and features CGA-IGC past president Swati Patel, MD, MS, along with recipients of the CGA-IGC & CCARE Lynch Syndrome Research Award and CGA-IGC committee members, Holli Loomans-Kropp, PhD, MPH and Zachariah H. Foda, MD, PhD, all of whom are part of the LINEAGE consortium.
This episode is essential listening for clinicians, researchers, and anyone interested in hereditary GI cancer syndromes, as well as the future of precision medicine, genetic epidemiology, and patient-centered research. It also offers valuable insights and tips for those looking to establish a research consortium or collaborative, emphasizing the importance of a solid governance structure, data use agreements, and the need to involve your institution's legal departments early in the process.
