Glendale : Hemophilia Research Grant

Glendale physician Erlinda Maria Gordon, who works with hemophiliac children at Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles, has received a $200,000 grant to continue her research into a gene therapy for the disease.

Current therapies for hemophilia aim only at controlling bleeding, but Gordon is seeking a possible cure for the disease: the removal, treatment and reintroduction of the patient’s cells.
