GOP Doctors Caucus Hosts Director Joni L. Rutter, Ph.D., NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences

The GOP Doctors Caucus hosted Director Joni L. Rutter, Ph.D., of the NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, to discuss the center’s ongoing work to improve the real-world application of innovative health solutions.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences is spearheading drug repurposing using AI to significantly cut down on delivery times of new treatments, particularly in the rare disease space. By improving treatment options and modalities, the cost of care can be reduced, providing dignity to patients and significantly boosting access to care.

“We applaud and are grateful for the incredible work the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences undertakes to improve American medicine,” said Co-Chairs Murphy, M.D. & Joyce, M.D. “Translational sciences take laboratory, clinical and community successes and turn them into tangible solutions for patients across the country. The integration of artificial intelligence is the preeminent challenge of the next frontier in healthcare. Appropriately augmenting research in patient care with it is as important as the excitement of its seemingly boundless potential.”
