My laboratory uses omics to better understand sickle cell disease, works to make gene therapy safer and more effective, and develops red cell function devices.

Please attend this workshop 6/22, and help bring good clinical trials to benefit people living with sickle cell disease to the Houston area!

We are a country with an open wound. None of us can turn away. None of us can be silent. None of us any longer can hear those words — “I can’t breathe” — and do nothing. We must commit, as a nation, to pursue justice with every ounce of our being.

Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.

Here at ASH2022 in New Orleans; excellent talk today on cost of gene therapy in sickle cell disease; we must analyze distributional cost effectiveness not just cost effectiveness. #ASH22 #SCD #genetherapy

ASH has adopted the term "classical hematology," in place of what was formerly referred to as "benign" or "nonmalignant." Discoveries within #classicalheme have significantly advanced the field & continue to better the lives of those living with non-cancerous blood disorders. 1/2

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & The Capitol Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

Gene therapy is big news! bbc.in/478lz7X and a major advance for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) & thalassemia. But in some recent trials, a small number of patients developed blood cancer. Our study (out in Nature Medicine ) asked why... nature.com/articles/s4159…

There's nothing humorous about this. Once again, comedians believe it's OK to mock #SickleCell, a painful, debilitating, often unpredictable disease. Also, get your facts straight Saturday Night Live - SNL, SCD CAN and does occur in families of all racial backgrounds. SCD is not your punchline

I have an idea NBC News and Saturday Night Live - SNL. Let me come talk on camera about #SickleCell and these #Amazing #transformative new therapies for #SickleCellAwareness. We can do an open dialogue on #genetherapy and commercial proceeds can go to National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers to help pay for this $$ treatment

SCDAA is disappointed by the Saturday Night Live - SNL skit about the recent historic approvals of potentially curative gene therapies for #SCD. SNL chose to cast a spotlight on this news with a tone-deaf skit that is distasteful at best and harmful at worst. Read more: buff.ly/3Rv3Uk5

I’ll be hiking the Rocky Mountains in partnership with the MTS Foundation in September to raise money to support Sickle Forward’s efforts to screen for sickle cell disease in west Africa; we would really appreciate your support! Please see the link below! givebutter.com/SummitsforSick…
