Beta thalassemia

Every day, people living with serious diseases strive to be more than their disease — to be defined by what they can dream and hope and achieve, not by what limits them. Our commitment to people with serious diseases is uncompromising and goes beyond our research and development (R&D) and medicines. 


Working with the beta thalassemia community

We work with organizations that help people with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT) live active, full lives.

We are committed to investigating and advancing approaches to treat the underlying cause of TDT. Vertex seeks to identify opportunities where we can support, empower, learn from and engage with the beta thalassemia community and ensure their voices are represented and incorporated into all that we do.
