Extraordinary privilege to present this data of truly transformational research in thalassemia. Nearly 90% transfusion independence in phase 3 studies that is durable with normal or near normal Hb and improved iron status.

Some highlights from #ISTH2022! Last week a group of our hematology researchers traveled to London for the 2022 ISTH Congress. They joined thousands of the world’s leading hematology experts to discuss the latest scientific advances, including gene therapy & targeted treatments.

A privilege to represent ASH at #WHA76 to advocate for greater awareness and more global resources to #ConquerSCD. Newborn screening and access to medications like hydroxyurea can save millions of lives.

Most major causes of death are decreasing. The same can’t be said for sickle cell disease. With neglect cited as a key factor preventing better outcomes, authors of a new The Lancet Haematology Commission call time on this apathy: hubs.li/Q01XhQj-0 🧵
