Peer Review & Validations of SCCF’s Discovery – Our Credentials
Some people have asked, “Your ‘cure’ works in theory, but does it work in practice?” The answer is, “Yes!!!” The key point is that fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has been shown to be preventive for sickle cell disease in nature, in many labs around the world, in many, many repeated experiments and patient trials over the [...]

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 [...]
