Meharry Sickle Cell Center

The Sickle Cell Center of Meharry Medical College was established in 1972, to address the problems of hemoglobinopathies in the African American population.  Since then the Sickle Cell Center has created a program that supports: Education, Screening, Counseling, Research, and Patient Treatment.
         
Originally, the center was funded solely by the State of Tennessee.  Currently the center receives support from State and Federal Research Grants, along with donations from private sources.

The impact of the Meharry Sickle Cell Center can be noted through the hundred thousands ho have been tested and screened, and the thousands of families who have received counseling services.  Furthermore, the Center has impacted the thousands of medical and graduate students, and the public health nurses who have been trained to identify, treat, and search for ways to treat the disease. 

The Center has also made important contributions to research through the development of a transgenic mouse model in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  Numerous publications and presentations at national meetings attest to the significance of this research.
