Sickle Cell: The Next 100 Years

De Montfort University, Leicester

This unique conference will mark the 100th anniversary since Dr. James Herrick published his first observations on ‘peculiar elongated cells’ - what is now known as sickle cell disease and we invite all those who are interested in hearing about current and future research into Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia.

Everyone is welcome to attend! We have a number of voluntary/community groups attending so whether you want to submit an abstract, exhibit or meet other Sickle Cell suffers then this is the perfect opportunity to meet people from around the world.

The conference will include talks from four keynote speakers:

• Professor Kwaku Ohene-Frempong (USA/Ghana)
• Professor Karl Atkin (UK)
• Dr Jemima Dennis-Antwi (Ghana)
