The annual meeting continues to be a premier event for the exchange of scientific knowledge regarding hematologic malignancies. Attendees can expect a comprehensive program featuring the latest research and treatment strategies from global leaders in the field.
The theme of this year’s meeting,“Advancing care through collaborative science,” reflects a moment when research funding is in flux and cross-sector collaboration is more important than ever. At the heart of next year’s meeting is a related question: How do we sustain the basic science that makes clinical breakthroughs possible?
