Premiering June 19, 2024 (World Sickle Cell Day), the #ThroughTheGenes is an informative podcast series highlighting the risks, benefits, and limitations of gene-based therapies as a curative option for sickle cell disease.

This collaborative effort aims to help patients and their support networks navigate emerging developments in gene therapies for sickle cell disease.
