I was at a meeting the other day and since in Salt Lake City, Utah we do not have many Thal Patients they let us meet with Sickle cell patients as well, since treatment in many ways is similar. They mentioned this in the meeting and I just got the article. I personally believe that this could apply to those with Thalassemia as well even though the article talks about sickelcell. I think we should talk to our doctors about this and get the research looking at applying this as our cure as well.

Actually, in the coming month first volunteer thal patient would undergo gene therapy done by Prof. Sadaline and his team ( Errant genes company). Also there is another trail that has been going on in Paris.
You can read abou these latest trails in the following links. We all wish them all the success.

Dr Malik is speaking Thursday morning at the conference. It should be an exciting day as all of the top doctors involved in gene therapy research will be speaking.
