Great to see key partners from York and Leeds at the BRC Haematology Theme meeting today at the National STEM Learning Centre
Colleagues gathered to discuss recent progress, data, and results from their research on immunosenescence, inflammation, clonal haematopoiesis, and epidemiology

People diagnosed with multiple myeloma – one of the most common forms of blood cancer – are now living nearly twice as long on average as they were in 2005, according to a new study. The findings, published in Haematologica, are based on data from more than 3,700 UK patients in England
