John Fanikos Praises Nathan Connell’s Efforts on Hemophilia Gene Therapy in Boston
John Fanikos, Director of Strategic Initiatives at North American Thrombosis Forum, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Hemophilia historically has been seen as a ‘royal disease’ because of its occurrence in the royal families of Spain, Germany and Russia.
Today it is known as a genetic disorder where bleeding occurs because of low levels of blood clotting Factor 8 (VIII) or Factor 9 (IX). As simple as a missing gene on a chromosome that provides the blueprint for the protein Factor.
Enter gene therapy.
Kudos to Dr Nathan Connell, who worked feverishly to bring this treatment to the Boston area.
You can hear the treatment results of his first patient on the CBS news and follow his expertise at the Vasculearn Network”
