Grant Activity:
Novel Hormone Analogues as an Innovative Endocrinological Intervention for the Anaemia of Chronic Disease
Purpose:
Anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) is a severe cause of morbidity & mortality in millions of people with cancer or
inflammatory diseases.
ACD is due to excessive levels of hepcidin, a hormone that prevents gut iron uptake, which inhibits the use of iron
for making red blood cells.
Thus, excessive hepcidin leads to debilitating anaemia.
This proposal will develop innovative Null Hepcidin Analogues that have no hormonal activity, but lead to
excretion of excessive hepcidin, thereby curing the anaemia
inflammatory diseases.
