\"NigelAlthough it\u2019s been nearly a century since hemophilia was considered an early death sentence, treating it can be time-consuming and troublesome. Many people with the blood disease give themselves frequent drug infusions to keep their condition under control, sometimes as often as several times a week.<\/p>\n

Several newly approved medications, while far from a cure, aim to lift some of that burden. Some will allow patients to go longer between treatments. Another drug in development aims to overcome a problem with current treatments, which can sometimes stop working for people whose bodies become resistant to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s never been a time when the pipeline is as full as it is now,\u201d says Nigel Key, MB, ChB, a hematologist and director of the UNC Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center. \u201cI think it\u2019s a reflection of the ability of biotechnology to bring these things forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Key is Vice Chief of the Division of Hematology\/Oncology. His practice is limited to patients with non-malignant blood disorders. His particular interests are in bleeding and clotting disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"apr-5","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key.jpeg","id":6002,"extension":"jpeg","width":400,"height":513,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":234,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-234x300.jpeg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-150x150.jpeg"},"post_thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-150x150.jpeg"},"post_thumbshort":{"width":400,"height":420,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-400x420.jpeg"},"post_wc-front-featured-news":{"width":280,"height":210,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-280x210.jpeg"},"wc_card_2x1":{"width":400,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-400x300.jpeg"},"wc_card_3x2":{"width":400,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-400x400.jpeg"},"mailchimp":{"width":301,"height":386,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2018\/12\/nigel-key-301x386.jpeg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2018-04-05 12:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"04","day":"05","hour":"12","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2018-04-05 13:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"04","day":"05","hour":"13","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2018-04-05 16:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"04","day":"05","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2018-04-05 17:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2018","month":"04","day":"05","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"UTC-5","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/event\/apr-5\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Medicine Grand Rounds","slug":"grand-rounds","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":95,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"Department of Medicine Grand Rounds","parent":0,"count":477,"filter":"raw","id":95,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/95","collection":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[{"name":"2018","slug":"2018","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":22,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":218,"filter":"raw","id":22,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags\/22","collection":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/tags"}}],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Medicine Grand Rounds, Nigel Key “Hemophilia, A 100-Year Story”","description":"<p>Although it\u2019s been nearly a century since hemophilia was considered an early death sentence, treating it can be time-consuming and troublesome.
