Will Gene Therapy be the Cure for Thalassemia?
Danielle:
Wow, Andy. I'm so glad to hear that Dr. Sadelain was so friendly. You don't hear much of doctors being *friendly* and *easy to talk to* anymore. :sadnope
Now I'd really love to meet him. :biggrin
I know that the trials are going to be a long journey, so that is why I'm not trying to get so excited about it. I'd like to know what the trials entail, though ... and how *healthy* you need to be. I wonder what the criteria is. :huh
Poirot:
Thanks, Andy, for the replies.
That is really good to know. Maybe we can lure him to do a trial in India or Singapore as well.
Is there any easy way to contact him? Or do you reckon that he will consider that intrusive?
Yeah, Danielle, wouldn't it really be great if this line of research leads to something "lasting"!!
Well fingers and toes crossed .....
Cheers

What if the Modded HIV virus stays in our system, then all we have to do is to donate our Gene corrected HIV infested blood to the patients of the same blood group(type) and have them cured too?!?! :noway Or do we get banned for life and not being able to donte blood to anyone (Even in Emergency!) as the virus might mess the genetic code. :d'oh
Danielle:
The whole thing seems quite scary to me. :scared
I don't know how safe I'd feel with a manipulated HIV retrovirus running rampant inside my already messed up body. :noway
I hope it works, though. :thumbsup
