National Sickle Cell Month
The Sickle Cell Cure Foundation, Inc. (SCCF) has made significant progress in recent months, including a U.S. patent issued 14 April 2009, and further laboratory discoveries showing that less DREPAC is needed than previously believed to reverse sickle cell! To keep this progress going, we need your help! It is our goal to have clinical [...]
About sickle cell disease…
“Everything we know about genes we learned first about the beta globin gene. Everything we know about molecular disease we first learned about sickle cell disease” Francis Collins, NIH, former Director of the Human Genome Project
A cure for sickle cell disease from our own bodies…
We are very proud to announce major progress in the search for a cure for sickle cell disease (SCD), the first genetic disease to be understood and a major disease that kills an estimated half-million people world-wide each year. As high as one in every four black persons in certain parts of Africa carries the [...]

Our Research
We have named our approach to curing sickle cell disease Gene Regulation Therapy, and the result is called a phenotypic cure. That is to say, no genes are permanently altered; instead, we use normal bodily signals to turn off the sickle cell gene and activate another gene with the same function in its place. We [...]
J.R. Perry III and his son Jameel
