Science Café Cleveland presents
Annual Distinguished Lectureship
Investigating Sickle Cell Disease
OCTOBER 13, 2014
FEATURING: Gilda Barabino
Dean, The Grove School of Engineering, The City College of New York
EVENT INFORMATION:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder affecting 70,000 Americans and millions globally inducing chronic inflammation and vascular dysfunction causing multiple organ damage. SCD involves complex interactions between blood cells and vessel walls.
We apply innovative engineering approaches to better understand conditions that contribute to vaso-occlusion, and the relationship between inflammation, vascular remodeling and vascular biomechanical abnormalities. Results from these studies will enable new therapies and provide clinicians with opportunities for improved management of individuals with SCD.
