We’re pleased to share that The Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative held a “Workshop on Data” in Seattle, WA on May 7. The workshop was entitled: “Data Harmonization, Standardization, and Collaboration for Diabetic Retinal Disease: accelerating the Development of New Indications, Therapies, and Regulatory Pathways.” We are grateful for the contributions of our 60 attendees who represented research expertise from industry, academia, government, and non-profit organizations. We all need to work together to bring us closer to finding a cure for vision loss and blindness caused by diabetes and how we handle and manage our research and real-world patient data is key to accomplishing this goal.
