Preparations
are underway for the annual meeting of the American
Society of Hematology, or ASH as it’s commonly referred. We’re scheduling
interviews with CLL experts, scheduling meeting with current and potential
supporters of the CLL Society and preparing our poster for the CLL Poster
Session on Monday, December 5th! So much to do, so little time. .
Today
in the Conference Coverage section,
we’ve posted an interview with Professor Michael Hallek where he discusses the role of the
microenvironment in CLL and why it is an important target. You can view my article and
see the interview here. http://cllsociety.org/2016/11/prof-hallek-microenvironment-cll/
