The approval of two gene therapies last week represent a big step forward in SCD research, but it still won’t be enough for most people with #SickleCell. The problem: we need more hematologists. #ASH23 Read @DocksDoc200's piece in STAT: loom.ly/FYSWhB4. #ConquerSCD

CASGEVY is the 1st FDA-approved #geneediting treatment for #sicklecell. Using CRISPR, Exa-cel targets the BCL11A gene, boosting fetal hemoglobin to ease symptoms. While more dialogue is required on access & affordability, it's a notable milestone for #SCD. rb.gy/s54omc
