ESH Erythro 2025 | Targeting heme-regulated inhibitor kinase in MDS-RS and sickle cell disease

Vera Adema, PhD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses the potential of targeting heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI) kinase to improve aberrant erythropoiesis in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes with ringed sideroblasts (MDS-RS) or sickle cell disease (SCD). Dr Adema notes that targeting HRI may also benefit patients with SCD by increasing fetal hemoglobin expression, which could alleviate anemia. This interview took place at the 4th ESH Translational Research Conference on Pathophysiology and Clinical Advances in Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia in Dublin, Ireland.
