Meet one of the first CRISPR Medicine patients at CRISPRMED25

Jimi Olaghere is a CASGEVY recipient who has developed a keen interest in the advancements of cell and gene therapies, since his transformative participation in the groundbreaking clinical trial.

Jimi is passionate about the positive impact that these therapies can have on patients in need and has become a staunch advocate for increased accessibility of gene therapies for sickle cell disease patients worldwide.

At CRISPRMED25, Jimi will share his story about living with sickle cell disease, before and after treatment with the recently approved CRISPR therapy CASGEVY.
