Scientists supported by the John Goldman Fund: Syed Owais Ali
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.
