About this deal
Since 1964, [6] the Foundation has partnered with the New York Academy of Sciences to present periodic symposia specifically focusing on the current status and future directions of clinical care and research in the area of thalassemia. As of 2014, nine of these Cooley's Anemia Symposia have been presented; the tenth is currently scheduled for October, 2015.
People whose hemoglobin does not produce enough alpha protein have alpha thalassemia. It is commonly found in Africa, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, southern China, and occasionally the Mediterranean region.

What is Hemoglobin E ( English, Bengali, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Hmong, Karen, Laotian, Thai, Vietnamese) This level of funding would be appropriate for support of innovative small-scale pilot studies, observational trials, or ancillary support for ongoing interventional studies (for example, support of a trainee joining an existing trial, or new biological endpoint analyses for an existing trial). In the case of ancillary studies, investigators should clearly document the support for the parent trial in their “other support” declarations. The Cooley’s Anemia Foundation invites national and international applicants to apply for grants to support Ongoing Clinical Research projects in thalassemia.

To accomplish this goal, OOCP is pursuing partnerships, sponsorships, fund raisers, donations, grants and other options to acquire the necessary funds to make OOCP a reality.
Established in 1954, the foundation was conceived by its founder, Frank Ficarra, the father of two children who were born with thalassemia. [1] Although the Foundation was founded in Brooklyn, New York, it has expanded its scope to include patients from across the United States. Bergeron, Raymond J.; Brittenham, Gary M.

This is an unusual form of Silent Carrier state that is caused by a mutation of the alpha globin. It is called Constant Spring after the region of Jamaica in which it was discovered. As in silent carrier state, an individual with this condition usually experiences no related health problems. Among the many areas in which the Foundation has supported research are the mechanisms of iron regulation, gene editing, and gene therapy as potential curative approaches to thalassemia; vector development; nutritional requirements in thalassemia; strategies for improving adherence to thalassemia treatments; fertility and pregnancy in thalassemia; cardiac issues in thalassemia; pulmonary hypertension; fetal hemoglobin production; and approaches to iron chelation therapy. We are a small charity launched in April 2011 in memory of 23 year old Candice Colley who lost her 4 year battle with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia) in December 2010.Have You Been Tested for Alpha Thalassemia Trait? ( English, Cambodian, Chinese, French, Hmong, Karen, Spanish, Vietnamese) People whose hemoglobin does not produce enough beta protein have beta thalassemia. It is found in people of Mediterranean descent, such as Italians and Greeks, and is also found in the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Africa, Southeast Asia and southern China. There are three types of beta thalassemia that also range from mild to severe in their effect on the body.
