CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 21, 2021: Disc Medicine, a company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel therapeutic candidates for serious and debilitating hematologic diseases, today announced that John Quisel, J.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Disc Medicine, will provide a corporate presentation on Thursday, June 3, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. ET at the Jefferies Virtual Healthcare Conference.
Disc Medicine is a hematology company harnessing new insights in hepcidin biology to address ineffective red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in hematologic diseases. Focused on the hepcidin pathway, the master regulator of iron metabolism, Disc is advancing first-in-class therapies to transform the treatment of hematologic diseases.
Congenital and acquired anemias often start with genetic alterations, but end with impaired iron mobilization and metabolism. Disc is applying new insights in hepcidin biology to restore red cell production in conditions of both iron sequestration and iron overload.
Blood transfusions have been the foundation of hematology for 50 years, and the risk/benefit of regular transfusion is not appropriate for many patients. We recognize and seek to alleviate the challenges faced by individuals with congenital anemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative disorders, thalassemia, and anemia of chronic disease – both those who receive transfusions and those who don’t.
