Using #genetherapy to treat #sicklecell is a game changer for those living with the disease, says Dr. @KFertrin. "It allows virtually any patient to have a donor because they don't need a match. They can get this treatment using their own stem cells." bit.ly/3S72Hky

"There is hope around the corner by harnessing genetics, new advances in gene, cell & nucleic acid therapeutics." - Mukesh Jain, Dean of Medicine & Biological Sciences, welcoming attendees to the CTN Symposium on Autism & Rare Genetic Diseases. Read more@ bit.ly/CarneyCTNsympo…
