Collage iCMLf Prizes 2024 March 2024 - We are delighted to announce the recipients of the 2024 iCMLf Prizes; Professor Neil P. Shah (Rowley Prize), Professor Jeff H Lipton (Goldman Prize), and Viji Venkatesh (iCMLf Prize).

Following numerous nominations received from the CML community, a panel of previous prize winners and the iCMLf Directors and Advisors has selected these individuals to acknowledge their exceptional contributions to advancing our understanding of CML biology and enhancing CML management.

All three are globally respected personalities and recognised experts in their field with a long professional and personal heritage in CML - as scientists, clinicians and patient advocates.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all prize recipients for their unwavering dedication, inspirational work, and tireless commitment to people living with CML.

March 2024 - With sadness we share the news of the death of Connie Eaves, a great friend, mentor and inspiration to those in the CML community.

‘‘Science is like an art in that it’s your performance that matters. If you produce a good song today it’s not necessarily going to last forever. This is, in part, what attracts people into science; it is that very insecurity that provides the drive to keep creating something new.”² Connie Eaves

Dr Connie Eaves made major contributions to the understanding of leukemia and breast cancer biology. Her pioneering research, including the identification of quiescent cancer stem cells, revolutionised cancer treatments and research methodologies worldwide.

This International Women’s Day we’re taking a moment to acknowledge the many incredible women who are an unwavering force in the battle against CML. We proudly stand alongside the remarkable women who have dedicated their careers to advancing research, improving patient care, and raising awareness about CML.

Today we’re celebrating three of the amazing women we work with in Pakistan, China and Ghana as they tell us about their experiences as a woman working in CML, and their advice for other women in the field.

January 2024 - We are delighted to share some significant and positive changes happening within the governance of the iCMLf that promise to further enhance our mission and impact to improve the lives of patients living with CML worldwide.

As part of our monthly news service we would like to make you aware of the CML publications of the month. From the many papers published Hughes.Tim Precision Medicine 3 PURE every month Professor Timothy Hughes has selected topical, interesting papers for your perusal that also include interesting publications on pediatric CML and articles on COVID-19 and CML.

We are delighted to share our new paper - Challenges in Management of Pediatric Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (pCML) in the Low-Middle Income Countries (LMICs): Insights from an International CML Foundation (iCMLf) Multi-National Survey.
