John DiPersio, MD, PhD, current president of SOHO and director of the Center for Gene and Cellular Immunotherapy at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, discusses the need for public-private partnerships to move novel therapies forward in the treatment of blood cancers. He also speaks about how cross-sector collaboration can create better research paths for the future.
For SOHO 2026, Dr. DiPersio chose the theme “Advancing care through collaborative science,” a timely topic as NIH funding continues to decline.
“SOHO 2026 will explore how public-private partnerships can sustain discovery, preserve basic research, and ensure access to innovation for patients around the world,” Dr. DiPersio said in a recent interview with SOHO Insider.
