A year and a half after applying for a K award I received a notice of award. Thank you mentors, friends, and family for your support. Most importantly I’m thankful for the study participants that give their time and effort to move forward this sickle cell and aging research.

✨Feeling inspired by the incredible power of #Black women scientists coming together for peer mentoring on this #Saturday ! Witnessing the strength, wisdom and support shared in these spaces is truly empowering. Together we rise! 💪🏿 #Black WomenEmpowerment #BWiSER Charity Oyedeji, MD

I’m so honored to be selected as one of this years ASH Scholar Award recipients! Excited to continue research to improve function and quality of life for older adults with sickle cell disease through the SICKLE-FIT exercise study!

Our paper on the prevalence of obesity and overweight status in adults with sickle cell disease is making rounds! 42.9% of adults with SCD had a BMI of >25 and was a/w female gender, older age, college education, private insurance, and hypertension. And more common in HbSC/HbSβ+

Such a great study presented at #ASH2022 by Dr. Shakira J Grant MBBS, MSCR highlighted in this article. It’s shameful that some physicians don’t offer patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials simply based on the color of their skin and SES! It’s time for a change!! Great work!

Very interesting presentation by Busola Oluwole Busola_Ol at #ASH2022 showing an INCREASE in the incidence of ischemic strokes in Californians with sickle cell disease in the post-STOP era.

Awesome to see interest in my research presented at #ASH2022 on characterizing frailty in adults with sickle cell disease to identify the most vulnerable. Excited for laying groundwork for interventions to improve function and quality of life in older adults with SCD! #geriheme

This is a very special picture! Former (Mike Green and Charity Oyedeji), current (Michele Sainvil (we missed you Diamone!!)) and future (Allison Taylor) Black Duke Hematology-Oncology fellows. The lineage of black hematologist is growing. #blackhematologists Duke HemeOnc Fellows #ASH2022
