Inspiring discovery science translating into impact! It was 1978 when HHMI investigator Yuet Wai Kan found a RFLP associated with Sickle Cell disease, the first use of SNP linkage for genetic diagnosis. Now there is the promise of technology to correct this mutation in vivo.
A brilliant interview on @BBCRadio4's Inside Health with Jimi Olaghere about his experience with a pioneering new gene editing treatment for sickle cell: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0013r… #SickleCell #GeneEditing #Treatment
The decades of discovery science + clinical research needed to bring such an advanced therapy to market is extraordinary, congrats to university researchers, clinicians, private sector scientists, public/charity and industry funders that have contributed to this new intervention!

Huge research progress (immunology, genetic engineering etc.) in 50yrs since the world's 1st successful human to human heart transplant - a procedure that extends the lives of 170 a year in the UK, but with waiting list of 340 - still more discovery needed

Jan 1922 in Canada - first use of insulin to treat a diabetic patient - previously a fatal condition. Discovering insulin, being able to manufacture it, and understanding its action has saved millions of lives. Another reminder of the huge societal benefits of health research.
