Lightship is looking forward to joining the inaugural OneVoice Symposium: The Patient Perspective on September 17 in Durham.

Hosted by Univo IRB and the RTP Chapter of ACRP, the half-day event will bring together patients and caregivers, clinical research professionals, investigators and study teams, sponsors and CROs, IRB professionals, healthcare professionals, and patient advocates to explore how these voices can work together to create a more patient-centered clinical research ecosystem.

Representing Lightship at the symposium will be:

  • Michael Shipton, Chief Business Officer
  • Darcy Forman, Chief Operating Officer
  • Andrea Williams, Senior Director, Patient Engagement
  • Amanda Casteen, Senior Manager, Clinical Operations
  • Tisha Hargrove, Senior Clinical Study Supply Coordinator
  • Coby Williams, MRU Operator

Our Mobile Research Unit will also be on-site, offering attendees the opportunity to participate in health assessments and learn more about how research can be delivered in ways that better fit people’s lives.

We’ll have printed and electronic resources available for attendees interested in learning more about Lightship and how we work across the clinical research ecosystem, including with CROs, sponsors, investigators, study teams, patients, caregivers, and community partners.

We’re looking forward to a day of shared perspectives, stronger partnerships, and practical conversations about creating a better clinical trial experience!
