Primary-Refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a form of leukemia that doesn’t respond to initial treatment, making continued progress in care options especially important. Michael Bern, MD, PhD is working to understand why this happens and how future therapies could offer more effective paths forward. ❤️ It’s one of the many ways we’re committed to AML research 👉 bit.ly/4pvvahW

Behind every research breakthrough are the people who want more birthdays, milestones, and everyday moments with the ones they love. ❤️ Together with the @HCLFoundation, we’re investing up to $7 million in the HCL2030 program to push research forward and create better options for patients with hairy cell leukemia. This continued collaboration will open up new therapeutic options for individuals with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). We proudly supported earlier work by Dr. Tiacci leading to a new treatment for people with relapsed HCL. On World Cancer Research Day, we honor patients at the heart of this mission, and the researchers who are making progress possible 👉 bit.ly/4gFD98L
