2025 Symposium
NESCC Symposium/ Sickle Cell-Abration
This symposium brings together clinicians, researchers, patients, and advocates dedicated to advancing care, research, and equity for individuals living with sickle cell disease. At the symposium we will explore the latest advances in brain health, neurocognition, and chronic pain management, while also uplifting the lived experiences of patients and families.
​
We are honored to feature distinguished speakers and panelists from across New England, each of whom contributes expertise and passion to this vital field. The conversations and collaborations that will take place at the event are central to our mission: building stronger networks of care, accelerating research, and driving policy change to improve outcomes for all individuals affected by sickle cell disease.
The NESCC Rising Beyond Scholarship
The New England Sickle Cell Consortium (NESCC) is proud to offer the Resilient Pathways Scholarship, an educational award created for students across New England whose lives have been shaped by Sickle Cell Disease or Sickle Cell Trait. This scholarship exists to invest in the next generation of scholars, leaders, and change-makers — students who are pursuing their education while carrying the strength, discipline, and perspective that comes with living alongside a lifelong condition.
NESCC believes that health status should never be a barrier to opportunity. Through this scholarship, we aim to reduce financial obstacles to higher education and to affirm every student's right to define their future on their own terms.
