Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have created a novel gene therapy procedure that could preserve fertility in people with sickle cell disease and other genetic blood conditions. Infertility is a high-risk and long-term side effect associated with current bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy approaches to treat sickle cell disease. It is a common reason people of reproductive age give for not pursuing these therapies.

The marketing and communications department, led by Ali Hinkle and supported by Brooke Crockett, has the overall goal of increasing awareness and promoting the reputation of the CCTS.
Between the two of them, they create and send out all communications from the CCTS including the monthly newsletters, e-blasts and social media in addition to maintaining the website and developing content for other blogs and articles. While the department is busy ensuring fluid communications of all things translational science and sharing stories about the work the CCTS is doing, they are also working on some exciting new updates!
