In recognition of Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA), Inc.’s 50th anniversary, we have launched this limited, three-part speaker series, Masterclass on Sickle Cell Disease. Leading experts in sickle cell disease focus on novel concepts surrounding disease-modifying and curative therapies and their impact on those living with sickle cell disease. The goal is to approach key sickle cell topics with a fresh, innovative perspective through discussions that have not yet been had. Learn more about the series here.
Sponsored by Pfizer, SCDAA’s Masterclass Speaker Series will shine a light on sickle cell disease throughout the year.
