Tilicia Mayo-Gamble’s research background is in patient and community-engaged research. She worked for 11 years with sickle cell community-based organizations to incorporate patient feedback into her research. Beginning in 2015, she began efforts to engage patients as partners in her research. While working as a postdoctoral fellow, her mentors received a PCORI Engagement Award which allowed her to co-lead efforts to engage sickle cell patients as research partners. She facilitates training of sickle cell community health ambassadors (health workers) to develop a TN Sickle Cell Disease Network. She currently serves as a patient/caregiver panel review member and as a member of the Rare Disease Advisory Panel. She is a caregiver to a husband with sickle cell disease, who, along with the many sickle cell warriors she represents, is her motivation for advocating for engagement and research efforts to support rare diseases.
