Blood Cancer Awareness Month starts today ❤️
Blood cancer changes everything. Whether you’re living with it, have been through it, supporting someone you love, or remembering someone you’ve lost - this month is for you.
Share this to help us raise awareness.
1/ 🧵 So delighted to share our new paper, out today in Science Translational Medicine @ScienceTM. We built a CAR-T cell therapy that selectively depletes the disease-driving mutant calreticulin (mutCALR) cells in myelofibrosis — while sparing healthy blood stem cells👇

Excited to share our new paper in @BrJHaem , led with @DrLornan on behalf of the UK Blood Cancer Research Network MPN Clinical Study Group 🧵
Real-world treatment patterns & outcomes in accelerated and blast-phase MPNs — the largest UK cohort to date.

New work in HemaSphere on mutant celreticulin in Essential Thrombocythaemia📄
The biology is remarkable: a cancer-driving oncogene that displays its own product on the cell surface as a neoantigen. A built-in target 🎯

The field of MF is changing rapidly and the decision on the timing of allo-HCT will become even harder. Here we show where we are are now by surveying 19 transplant centres. Many thanks to @DrLornan@JAspaCilleruelo and the @TheEBMT CMWP for the coordination of the study #MPNsm
Looking for a job which trains you in early phase clinical trials in lymphoid malignancies?
Look no further!
The Oxford early phase clinical trials unit is advertising for a fellow. See link and if you're thinking of applying do get in touch.

Does the news reflect what we die from? Brilliant overview from Our World In Data. Cancer still #2 despite incredible progress! https://t.co/MG7EPZFjVe
I am (no joke) interested in trying this in my lab at @UniofOxford . It seems very likely we could use an agentic-enabled robot to do DNA/RNA preps, qPCR etc. @GoogleAI - any interest in a pilot?
Excited to share our multi-institutional study on ALK+ Large B-cell lymphoma in @AjHematology :
Outcomes remain poor with intensified chemo and consolidative ASCT. Select durable remissions occurred with biologically targeted therapies & allo-SCT

Most genetic reports label variants as ✅ “pathogenic” or ❌ “benign.” But what patients really want to know is: what are my chances of getting the disease? 🚨 In our new Science study, we used AI + 1.3M patient records to better answer that…
Are you looking to enhance your clinical hematology research skills? Due to popular demand, we've extended the application deadline for our 2026 Clinical Research Training in Hematology (#CRTH) program until the 16th of September at 15:00 (CEST).
Successful applicants will benefit from:
📌 Learn how to design and execute a clinical trial
📌 Develop a strategy for effective collaboration with various stakeholders
📌 Recognize the ethical and regulatory framework relevant to clinical research
📌 Examine the fundamentals of competitive grant and abstract writing and manuscript preparation and presentation
📌 Understand and apply the basic principles of meta-analyses, and learn how to use statistics effectively
All costs associated with participating in CRTH are covered by EHA.

What a cool story by @beth_psaila and colleagues in @ScienMagazine
Platelets can shuttle around DNA 🧬 that they pick up - a little like USB drives carrying information from place to place, but sometimes it’s malware ☠️
https://t.co/OcD977Alk3
Platelets sequester and harbor cell-free tumor DNA, which could enhance our ability to make early, microscopic diagnosis of cancer

Are we already experiencing peak AI for LLMs? OpenAI has brought back GPT-4o, a mere day after GPT-5 was released (https://t.co/kjLzgwiZ5p). Will we see future developments in small increments only, like the smartphone world? #AI#llm
