About
Moving sickle cell research forward.
Sickle cell disease was first discovered in western medicine in 1910 and was discovered to be the first molecular genetic disease. Since then other genetic conditions have surpassed sickle cell disease in terms of treatment options and drug therapies, a great deal of it has to do with the number of people enrolling in clinical studies.
Sickle Cell Studies is a subsidiary of Sickle Cell 101 (SC101), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Silicon Valley, California. The mission of SC101 is to provide educational resources and content pertaining to sickle cell disease and trait, to patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and the general public around the world.
