Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. and Hemanext® Inc. Form New Strategic Partnership
Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. (SCDAA) and Hemanext Inc., a privately held medical technology company dedicated to improving the quality, safety, efficacy and cost of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion therapy, are proud to announce a new partnership that will help SCDAA deliver on its mission and meet its goals. In 2020 Hemanext will collaborate with SCDAA on its educational programs, grassroots events and public-awareness campaigns.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects 100,000 individuals in the United States, disproportionately affecting African Americans with one in 500 African Americans suffering from the disease. People with SCD often require regular blood transfusions, particularly units of RBCs. Hemanext is committed to developing a novel RBC product to deliver improved and longer-lasting transfusions.
