A Chat with Matt Ellefson of SURVIVEiT

One year ago, JDRF launched the Antidote Match tool on Clinical Trials Connection. In celebration of this anniversary, our Head of Partnerships, Grace McElroy, sat down with Dr. Aaron Kowalski, Chief Mission Officer, JDRF to discuss Type 1 diabetes and the importance of clinical trials.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post celebrating our partners and announcing that, in the coming weeks, we will be sharing their work more widely. It is my pleasure today to share our first partner feature: Lupus Research Alliance.

Exactly one year ago, we launched Antidote Match, the first truly patient centric clinical trials search tool (see an example at the bottom of the post). Match aggregates and annotates all trials listed in clinicaltrials.gov to make it easy for people to connect with medical research regardless of their condition on the sites they already know and trust.

It’s no secret that at Antidote, we’re all about people. We come to work each day to help people connect with new treatments for devastating conditions, including those that have impacted our own loved ones. And we are in good company.
