1/ Haematologists have to look at the shape of 1,000s of blood cells in peripheral blood smears (PBS) to study haematological conditions. What if computers could help them? In a new preprint, we detect and analyse millions of blood cells to do just this. 👉medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Using genome sequencing, researchers have discovered how leukaemia-associated gene mutations hijack blood cell production over the years, and how this relates to ageing and cancer development. Research by Moritz Gerstung josé Wellcome Sanger Institute ebi.ac.uk/about/news/res…

Over time, human cells acquire DNA mutations. For the first time, researchers have been able to understand the past, present and future of mutations in our blood cells, and how these relate to ageing and cancer development. embl.org/news/research-…

Thank you to Robert Hasserjian for a valuable perspective in the Hematologist on predictive models developed by our team and our close friends and colleagues at DFCI.

This #WorldCancerDay we’re launching a transformative £4 million research project to establish a clinical platform that identifies people at high risk of certain blood cancers. How will it improve people's lives? Watch our film to find out how! 🔗 bit.ly/3HHBe35

February is National Cancer Prevention Month❗ This month, we’re recognizing the scientific excellence of Dr. George Vassiliou from Cambridge University. His research identifies patients at high risk for myeloid blood cancer and aims to find ways to prevent it. 🩸

Very privileged to receive this #CRUKFunded award. A huge thank you to CRUK for supporting my research into #EarlyDetection of individuals at high risk of developing AML. Wouldn’t be possible without the support of Vassiliou Lab and individuals who donate their samples.

See below our latest paper showing the potential to influence the natural history of clonal haematopoiesis and raising hope that we may be able to prevent its progression to AML. Congratulations to Steve Chan and Jen Trowbridge for their excellent papers supporting the same !
