“Want to meet a real-life superhero? Such a delight meeting Mike, my superhero at Sarah Cannon Research Institute!
Thanks to real-life superheroes like Mike for enrolling & volunteering in the CRISPR gene therapy clinical trial for sickle cell disease.
FDA approved this groundbreaking gene therapy for sickle cell disease!
This is the WHY we do what we do – to make life-changing breakthroughs possible!
Today Mike & I discussed how to motivate patients to consider Precision Medicine Clinical trials.
