What is the potential of gene therapy to treat sickle cell disease? Join Erica Esrick, MD of Boston Children's Hospital/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beverly Francis-Gibson of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America for a look into curative therapies for sickle cell disease. We'll discuss the state of gene therapy for sickle cell patients, their efficacy and safety, and important takeaways for people with sickle cell. We'll also discuss the importance of patient-focused research when developing new therapies, how to establish knowledge and understanding of these new therapies within the sickle cell community, and the importance of respecting the history of science and research within the African American community.
