Working Together as a Community

The Cure Sickle Cell Initiative includes people from various scientific disciplines—basic and clinical researchers, statisticians, data scientists, geneticists, clinical trialists, and others who are actively involved in various sub-committees and working groups. An important element of the Initiative is working together as a community to accelerate research by avoiding duplication of efforts, leveraging evolving knowledge, and integrating best practices from government, academia, and industry.

Current efforts focus on key priorities: creating biological and clinical endpoints, developing data resources, enhancing existing bio resources, engaging patients through outreach, and enabling and accelerating clinical trials.
