Dear Margaret Kiwanuka,
We hope to start clinical trials in mid-2012. One of the advantages of our treatment is that the cost should be low enough for everyone to afford.

I must thank you for working so hard to find a cure for this disease! When do you think the treatment will be available? Will it be affordable for poor people in the third world countries like Uganda?

Dear Janhit Sansta,
I am sorry to hear of the great suffering among India’s tribal peoples due to sickle cell disease. Thank you for sharing the description of this situation with all of us. It is our intent to make our treatment available in India for very little cost, as soon as possible after it is approved for human use. I wish you the very best,
