Last month, I had the privilege of gathering with nearly 100 people at the 2024 Tandem Meetings to host our annual kickoff event opening the fifth year of the Incyte Ingenuity Awards in GVHD. We heard from our 2022 recipients about their impressive project progress and results, and we also got to honor the 2023 recipients and preview the exciting work they hope to accomplish this year.
We also heard from a panel of our judges who spoke about their personal and professional experiences living with, treating, and advocating for GVHD. They also shared their perspective on how these projects have helped the GVHD community over the years. I was particularly moved by Barbara Abernathy’s testimony. She is one of our program judges, and hearing her first-hand experience about living with GVHD and how it has led to her life of advocacy is an inspiration to all. I’m thrilled we get to have her on our judging panel to help select which novel project would benefit the full GVHD community.
As we enter the fifth year of the awards, I’ve been reflecting on the evolution of the program and the incredible impact it’s had the past few years. I’m so grateful to all the wonderful organizations that have stepped up to the challenge and created an innovative initiative for those living with GVHD. From digital apps to healthcare provider networks, to educational resources for children and young adults, the projects developed through this program have impacted hundreds of people living with, treating, and caring for those with GVHD. I’m honored to be a small part of this program and I couldn’t be more excited to see what this year brings.
