Meet Azizi Coleman, Patient and Community Liaison, and member of the bPACE flock. She shares some unique fun facts about herself as well as what inspires her every day as part of the team at bluebird bio.

The flock was thrilled to welcome sickle cell warrior, advocate, and member of the LGBTQ+ community, Andrè Marcel Harris, to the nest for a conversation about the many aspects of Andrè's experience – his race, sexual identity, faith, and more – that intersect and overlap to shape his journey with sickle cell disease. 

Along with sharing his lived experiences, he also visited our lab to meet with some of the minds behind our science and participated in the flock’s Juneteenth celebrations. Warriors like Andrè inspire us to fly higher every day – thank you for joining us at the nest, Andrè!

Holy COW, the flock had a great time at the Cooley's Anemia Foundation Patient-Family Conference! 

It's always an honor connecting with the #betathalassemia community and learning more about how we can better serve people living with beta-thalassemia. And it’s especially fun when our Director of Patient Advocacy, Susan Brisendine, gets the chance to rock her inflatable cow costume at the conference’s costume party! 🐮

The flock had an amazing time at Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research’s 18th Annual Sickle Cell Disease Research & Educational Symposium. Our birds were grateful for the opportunity to attend and hear from leaders and members of the #sicklecell community.
 
As Shanna Gillis, Manager of Patient Advocacy, shared: “My first experience at FSCDR was phenomenal! The level of authentic engagement with the community and the thought-provoking educational opportunities were unmatched. I’m looking forward to bringing all my learnings back to the nest so the flock can continue to grow and improve.”

Welcome to our bPACE birds’ series! 

Did you know we have a specific flock of birds, bPACE, who work to educate the communities we serve about gene therapy? 

Meet Phill Okwo, Director of Patient and Community Education, one of our birds who soars to great heights. 

Learn more about Phill and what inspires him.

Last week, members of the flock migrated to #BIO2024. Here are some of the highlights of our team flying high:
➟ We shared perspective (and some hard-won lessons!) from a decade of gene therapy leadership during a fireside chat with Andrew Dunn from Endpoints News.
➟ We facilitated a conversation among pioneers from across the healthcare ecosystem who are blazing the trail for gene therapy access in the commercial setting.
➟ We took a training hike for Luke Timmerman's Timmerman Traverse with others from across the industry who are committed to paying it forward.
➟ We heard BIO International Convention’s new CEO John F. Crowley talk about his vision for the industry and the importance of keeping patients at the heart of our work, specifically sharing the New York Times piece highlighting sickle cell disease gene therapy.
➟ We connected with advocates and other innovators who are committed to changing the world for patients and families.
➟ We celebrated how far we’ve come and all that is ahead – for bluebird, for the field of gene therapy, and for patients and their families.
