Warrior Takeover with Dr. Biree Andemariam, Physician-Scientist at UConn Health
In another special Sickle Cell Warrior Takeover of Cheat Codes, Golie Green sits down with Dr. Biree Andemariam, a physician-scientist at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, for a deep dive into life with sickle cell disease, in September during Sickle Cell Awareness Month. They dig into the science of hemolysis and why it drives so many of the challenges sickle cell warriors face, from pain crises and chronic anemia to the understandable fear of committing to long-term plans. They also look at some unmet needs, and why access to specialized care and participation in clinical trials remain critical to improving outcomes for the sickle cell community.
