Dr. Gamble-George was interviewed by Jessica Frost about the NHLBI Hope for Sickle Cell Disease Challenge, which was hosted by the Center for Translation Research and Implementation Science (CTRIS). She led the competition to inspire the next generation of STEM pioneers and increase awareness about sickle cell disease (SCD). The Challenge stimulated students to use STEAM (A refers to the arts) to create digital health education tools that solve a major public health problem, dispelling myths about SCD in the public with evidence-based information about SCD. In addition, her knowledge across medical, technology, and education domains allowed CTRIS to expand the Challenge for outreach to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving institutions (HSIs) and to students that majored in the humanities and social sciences.

Dr. Gamble-George

I love to empower people to become thought leaders and STEAM/STEMM innovators. I served as an expert science advisor for scientists that study chronic heart and lung diseases, HIV, and mental health. I also co-founded a biotech IoT application and device development company. As a scientist, I conduct research related to brain diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, anxiety and stress-related disorders, and substance use disorders.
