Collage 2024 Prize winnersOctober 2024 - The recipients of the three 2024 iCMLf Prizes received their medals at the recent ESH-iCMLf 26th John Goldman Conference on CML: Biology and Therapy. During their acceptance speeches they shared insights into their incredible work which has significantly shaped the way we understand and treat CML today.

The keynote presentations of the 2024 prize recipients are now available to view on the iCMLf website, and they reflect the innovation, compassion, and dedication of all three prize winners across CML research, treatment, and patient advocacy.

You can listen to Professor Neil Shah’s personal view on the challenges of treatment resistance, Professor Jeff Lipton exploring the therapeutic goals of CML from the perspectives of both physicians and patients, and Viji Venkatesh share her powerful account of collaborative efforts in CML patient support and community-building.

The ESH-iCMLf 26th Annual John Goldman Conference on CML: Biology and Therapy, held in Prague, brought together world-leading experts to discuss the latest advancements in the treatment and biology of CML. Jointly organised bythe European School of Haematology (ESH) and the iCMLf , the event featured cutting-edge research presentations, insightful discussions, and collaborative sessions focused on driving innovation in CML management.

Fun Run 2024 Group pictureThanks to everyone who supported the 2024 John Goldman Fun Run, held during the recent ESH-iCMLf 26th Annual John Goldman Conference on CML: Biology and Therapy in Prague.

Despite the cold morning, the warmth of camaraderie and the fun we shared among the around 50 enthusiastic runners joining us on the 5-km route through Potviní Park made it an unforgettable experience!

Together, we raised $2,200– a heartfelt thank you to all 64 individual supporters.

The funds raised will directly support our mission to improve outcomes for people living with CML in low- and middle-income countries, ensuring that physicians in these regions can continue to access the vital training and education needed to make a difference in patient care.

🌟 Scientific Session: Top scoring abstracts 🌟

This Scientific Session presented six top-scoring abstracts selected by the meeting organisers. These presentations highlighted key advancements in understanding the mechanisms of disease progression, the clinical implications of mutations, and factors driving relapse after CML cessation.

During this session, the best biological abstract was awarded to Daniele Sarnello for his work on BNIP3 as a potential therapeutic target in hypoxic CML cells, while the best clinical abstract went to Kendra Sweet, who presented results of the SWOG trial on the addition of ruxolitinib to BCR::ABL1 TKIs.
