Young scientists supported by the John Goldman Fund
Dr Syed Owais Ali, MD
(Rawalpindi, Pakistan)
'I’m very lucky to have the opportunity to come to this conference. I have learned a lot by listening to the presentations and by interacting with people from other countries and from other universities and I now have the full picture in my mind.
Back home in my country I will be sharing everything that I have seen and learned here and this will help us to treat our CML patients in the right way and to better serve our patients. (Dr Owais Ali, Pakistan)
Syed Owais Ali’s attendance at the John Goldman Conference on CML in Estoril in 2017 was supported by the iCMLf Goldman Fund. At a ceremony shortly after the opening of the conference, he received a certificate from the iCMLf chairman, Professor Tim Hughes.
Dr Marica Pavcovic, MD, PhD
(Skopje, Macedonia)
‘Coming to this conference complemented my practical learnings during my preceptorship at the Hammersmith Hospital very well.
It’s great to have a conference with a focus on CML only. I especially like the interactive poster walks at this meeting where the audience asks so many questions’

Dr Uzma Zaidi
(Karachi, Pakistan)
‘I thank iCMLf for providing me the opportunity to participate in the 18th John Goldman Conference. I got a chance to listen to international experts, to see what approaches they are following and how they are managing their patients. This meeting has greatly enhanced my knowledge on CML and given me so many new ideas to better help my patients in home town, both from the diagnostic and the management point of view’.
(Dr Zaidi, Pakistan)
Uzma Zaidi was supported by the iCMLf Goldman Fund to attend the John Goldman Conference on CML in Houston in 2016. She also undertook a 4-week clinical preceptorship at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston directly after her attendance at the meeting.
‘The main issue in Pakistan is to get access to regular monitoring for my patients.
I am hoping to learn some diagnostic techniques during the preceptorship and to improve my skills and knowledge in terms of diagnosis and biology of CML. This will help me to find solutions for my patients’.
(Dr Zaidi in advance of her preceptorship)
