The Latest Update from Pat G about Gene Therapy

(1/6) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
This is Pat's latest update. This is very close to being in patients. I trust this group more than any other. Dr Sadelain's team has produced the most thorough research and development of the process. I believe they have taken steps to ensure good results and over the next 6 months, we will finally see these results.


--- Quote ---Dear family,
It's pat girondi... We are close. The latest data looks promising. There are no guarantees though I'm confident as well as hopeful that we will see genetic expression of the beta globin gene in our first patients.
Please forgive me for the years of wait. I as well as you would like to have been quicker. I am not an expert at anything and can only say that I did my best to move things along.
Please join the Sadelain team and send them your warmest wishes, prayers and thoughts. The date that we begin is close...
Also for kicks go and hear the preview song of the next CD in the 'Orphan' Series... 'Orphan's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL5z_v69RuYe'.
Love yas.

ANI:
Dear Andy
Whe I come to my office in the mornig and open up this site during any opportunity, I always feel very excited of geting some news somewhere. But not finding any  BREAKTHROUGH news , I feel very sorry and pack up and close this site for yet another morning.
I am sure, some day sometime this i bound to come and all of us will be delghted and perhaps this site go further to discuss how all of us are feeling. Me as a father  of a Thal child ,for whom I always feel guilty. The maximum proce i paid for my ignorance.
Love you all.

love and prayers:
Andy,
if this is successful, when will the gene therapy be available to us?
