MySickleCellTeam Advisory Committee

Our Sickle Cell Disease Advisory Committee brings together clinicians, researchers, advocates, caregivers, and people with lived experience of sickle cell disease. Their expertise helps guide how we serve the sickle cell community — the information we share, the resources we highlight, and the issues and needs we prioritize. Their perspectives help us stay grounded in both current medical knowledge and the real-world experiences of people living with sickle cell disease and their families.
