Recently, Bruce Cozadd, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, sat down with Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, for a fireside chat where they explored the principles that jazz music and pluralism share, and how to apply them to leadership and citizenry. Bruce reflects on the conversation and how these principles have been brought to life at Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

At Jazz, National Epilepsy Awareness Month serves as a crucial moment to recognize the importance of raising awareness for patients with severe forms of epilepsy, and how we at Jazz work to continuously provide support for patients and caregivers.

In recognition of International Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Awareness Day, which takes place every year on November 1, we sat down with Dr. Tracy Dixon-Salazar, Executive Director of the LGS Foundation, to discuss the importance of raising awareness of LGS – a developmental brain disorder that frequently evolves from early-life-onset epilepsy – and share her family’s personal journey with the disease. 

By helping to bridge the gaps that can sometimes occur between academics and companies when conducting clinical translational research, the SU2C Catalyst program embodies the type of multisectoral partnerships that we at Jazz know are integral to addressing some of the largest hurdles in healthcare.
