This webinar provides an overview of genetic therapies — what they are, how they work, and how they may be able to prevent or treat diseases. It also highlights activities of the Cure Sickle Cell Initiative, an NHLBI-led collaborative research effort to accelerate the development of genetic therapies to cure sickle cell disease. And you’ll hear a patient's perspective of participating in clinical trials and the importance of safe and widely available cures. This video is by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
