  • In today’s CRUZAMENTO Podcast, André Correia e Daniel Guedelha talked with Daniel Lewi, co-founder and CEO of the CATS Foundation, about the world of rare disease advocacy. Dan shares his personal journey as a patient advocate and discusses the mission of the CATS Foundation, which focuses on raising awareness and driving research for Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease. He highlights the importance of collaboration and transparency in advocating for better treatment options, emphasising the need for data sharing, especially in drug repurposing efforts. Dan also shares insights into engaging with pharmaceutical companies, emphasising the importance of building trust, clear communication, and collaborative strategies. Throughout the conversation, the critical role of patient voices, diverse perspectives, and community involvement in shaping advocacy efforts is emphasised, ensuring that the needs and experiences of individuals impacted by rare diseases are at the forefront of research and development initiatives.

    Dan Lewi’s eldest daughter Amelie was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs in 2011 at 15 months of age and upon finding that there was no dedicated advocacy group providing support for families affected by this disease in the UK he set set-up the Cure & Action for Tay-Sachs (CATS) Foundation with his wife Patricia. Since the group was launched, they have been able to grow The CATS Foundation so that it now offers a variety of services to its family members and has been actively involved in the research investigating therapeutic treatments for Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease. In addition to this, Dan is the one of the founding members and Chairman of the European Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Charity Consortium which brings together all the European patient groups leading the fight against the diseases and is part of the team establishing the IGGA, a global organisation bringing together all the advocacy groups for GM1 and GM2. Dan is fully committed to leading the charity towards its goal of finding a treatment so that there is hope for those families affected by Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff in the future

His work is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer biology, enabling the development of more precise diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. Through his efforts, he aims to revolutionize the way we approach cancer treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Additionally, Ron de Pinho actively engages in educating influential figures such as the President of the United States and the Pope, advocating for policies that support the advancement of biotechnology in healthcare and sustainability. His dedication to both research and advocacy solidifies his position as a leading figure in the biotech industry.

    Ronald A. DePinho, M.D. is currently past president and distinguished university professor of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research has focused on the fundamental mechanisms driving cancer and aging and the clinical application of such knowledge to prevent and treat disease.

    Dr. DePinho studied biology at Fordham University, where he graduated class salutatorian, and received his M.D. degree with distinction in microbiology and immunology from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He performed his residency and postdoctoral training at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.

    Dr. DePinho’s independent career began at Einstein as the Feinberg Senior Faculty Scholar in Cancer Research and an ACS Research Professor. He then joined the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School where he was the founding Director of the Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Science and a Professor of Medicine and Genetics at Harvard. As president of MD Anderson, Dr. DePinho conceived and launched the Moon Shots Program, a goal-oriented comprehensive effort designed to accelerate declines in cancer incidence and mortality. This initiative has yielded practice-changing advances in cancer and inspired the national cancer moonshot under President Biden. He also elevated MD Anderson’s research and graduate programs, recruited many world class faculty including National Academy Members and its first Nobel Prize. To improve cancer care beyond MD Anderson, he launched and assembled a network of cancer institutions in 24 countries, reaching one-third of the human population.

    As a researcher, he has published over 400 articles, books and chapters that have advanced our understanding of cancer, aging and degenerative disorders which have led to clinical advances including new cancer drugs and diagnostics. His most notable discoveries include elucidation of the core molecular pathway for aging, determination of the basis for the intimate link between advancing age and increased epithelial cancer incidence, establishment of the central role of telomeres in cancer genome instability, discovery of Sin3 and linkage of sequence specific transcription factors and chromatin regulators, demonstration that aging itself can be reversed which led to new therapeutic strategies for aging and age-related diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease. To translate these basic discoveries, he founded 9 private and publicly traded biotechnology companies and served as an advisor or director for biotech and large biopharma companies focused on oncology. His public service includes advisory and directorship roles for AACR and the NIH, as well as the Vatican and several countries. He is chairman and co-founder a non-profit, OPA Health (previously, Unite to Prevent Cancer) whose mission is disease prevention in underserved communities. As an advocate, he was a key instigator in the bipartisan bill raising the age of tobacco purchase to 21 (T21) and the bipartisan Cures Act. He is Vice Chair of the BOD for Act For NIH, a non-profit advocacy organization to garner bipartisan support for the NIH resulting in an additional $14.9B to the base budget and restoring the NIH budget following years of inflationary decline.

    For his fundamental contributions to cancer and aging and to healthcare, he has been recognized with numerous honors and awards. He was named one of the 100 most influential healthcare leaders, according to Modern Healthcare. His honors include the Melini Award for Biomedical Excellence, the American Society for Clinical Investigation Award, the Biomedicum Helsinki Medal, Albert Szent-Györgyi Prize, AACR Clowes Award, American-Italian Foundation Prize, among others. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Science, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association of the Advancement of Science and the American Association of Cancer Research.

  • In today’s CRUZAMENTO Podcast, André Correia e Daniel Guedelha talked with Katrien Buys about her experiences in the AXA and Ageas merger, highlighting the challenges faced and the strategies that led to success. She also discussed Impact Investing, a concept that stirs controversy among traditional investors, drawing from her role at the Ageas Foundation. Katrien’s inspiring take on Innovation and the Role of Failure underscores how failures can drive progress, backed by compelling examples. This interview offers a profound exploration of these crucial topics that resonate universally.

    Katrien Buys was born and raised in Belgium, and a mathematician by education at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven Belgium). This degree led her to start in the insurance industry where she worked in the Belgian entity of the group during several years. Triggered by a need of exploring the business world beyond its boundaries, a guiding principle that she keeps valid until today, she set off in 2012 to join the Italian operations and have her first international working experience. After a return to Belgium for 2 years, leading a strategic transformation program, she took the bigger opportunity of travelling and moving with her family to Portugal. Katrien bridges the gap between her work at Ageas Portugal and impact organizations, creating new business opportunities for positive societal impact. She likes to be innovative and to always find ways to cooperate in different areas, creating value both for these organizations and for Ageas Portugal. More importantly, she asks questions regularly, most often “why?” which is the most powerful question to keep you on track and ensure you don’t take anything for granted. Because she works in strategy, innovation and sustainability, she sees her role as bringing people together, having good conversations and co-creating a world of hope for as many people as possible. In the spirit of Ageas Portugal’s mission to deliver emotional and meaningful experiences in people’s lives, there is the vision that, with radical collaboration, we can be a welcome presence in every Portuguese household. Katrien is the winner of the 2021 MAZE Runner Award.

  • In today’s CRUZAMENTO Podcast, André Correia e Daniel Guedelha talked with Albert ‘Skip’ Rizzo about how Virtual Reality (VR) can change education and mental health care, and its limitations and pitfalls.

    Albert ‘Skip’ Rizzo is a clinical psychologist and Director of Medical Virtual Reality at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. He is also a Research Professor with the USC Dept. of Psychiatry and at the USC Davis School of Gerontology. His career began as a clinician providing rehabilitative services for persons with traumatic brain injuries and stroke. Over the last 25 years, Skip has conducted research on the design, development and evaluation of Virtual Reality systems targeting the areas of clinical assessment, treatment and rehabilitation across the domains of psychological, cognitive and motor functioning in both healthy and clinical populations. This work has focused on PTSD, TBI, Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other clinical conditions. Some of his recent work has involved the creation of intelligent virtual human (VH) patients that novice clinicians can use to practice skills required for challenging diagnostic interviews. He has also developed VHs for use as online/mobile virtual human healthcare guides and as clinical interviewers with automated sensing of facial, gestural, and vocal behaviors useful for inferring the state of the user interacting with these virtual human entities. In spite of the diversity of these clinical R&D areas, the common thread that drives all of his work with digital technologies involves the study of how interactive and immersive Virtual Reality simulations can be usefully applied to address human healthcare needs beyond what is possible with traditional 20th Century tools and methods.
