ARISE

African Research and Innovative Initiative For Sickle Cell Education

ARISE is a research project funded by the EU in the framework of the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 programme. Led by Fondazione Gianni Benzi and the Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London, the project involves institutions in EU (Italy, France, UK and Cyprus) & non-EU (Nigeria, Lebanon, Kenya and USA) countries.

The ARISE project is aimed at creating an inter-agency and multidisciplinary staff exchange programme between researchers, early start investigators and other relevant staff members of the partner institutions to share and spread the best practices in Newborn Screening, diagnosis and treatment of SCD, leading to improvement in overall disease outcome.
