This week we spoke to Dr. Alan Moss! Dr. Moss is the Chief Scientific Officer at the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation in the US. Previously he was the Director of the Crohn’s & Colitis Program at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Professor of Medicine at Boston University (BU). He is a clinician-scientist who is a passionate patient advocate. We talked to him about moving from Ireland to the US to pursue training in IBD. We talked to him about why he decided to switch from direct patient care to leading the scientific efforts at the Foundation. We talked to him about what plans he has for the future of research at the Foundation including shepherding in new technology such at AI. We talked to him about how they are ensuring patient data protections and equity in how technology may shape research. We discussed how the research agenda has changed from focusing solely on remission to prevention, remission and on to repair and healing past damage. Finally we discussed the new 5 year strategic plan that the Foundation has undertaken in guiding their research agenda and the process by which healthcare providers, researchers and patients helped to build this new plan.
We had such an interesting conversation with Dr. Moss and we're excited to see what he will accomplish in this new role.
