Two doctors who have spent many many hours helping the CLL community.

I FEEL SURE THAT WE ALL EXPRESS OUR MANY THANKS.

THIS IS AN AWARD THAT IS WELL DESERVED.

During this past weekend's 20th biennial International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL), Susan M. O'Brien, MD, and Catherine J. Wu, MD, were awarded the Binet-Rai Medal.

Since 1999, the iwCLL has presented the Binet-Rai Medal every two years to individuals and teams who help shape and enhance scientific understanding of CLL through important research and contributions.

Kanti Rai, MD, one of the two original recipients for whom the Medal was subsequently named, had the honor of presenting this year's awards to Drs. O'Brien and Wu:

"Dr. Susan O'Brien is an internationally recognized leader in the research and treatment of therapies for patients with both chronic and acute leukemias, and is a pioneer of several important therapies now regarded as the standard of care for CLL.

Dr. Catherine Wu is an internationally recognized expert in the biology and treatment of lymphoid malignancies, with a primary focus on CLL. This work has culminated in ongoing clinical trials where genomic information is being used to design a personalized vaccine to test the impact on generation of an immune response and anti-tumor activity."

Thanks for posting Kwenda. I like to read some selected abstract summaries of these conferences, but all the iwcll website for the meeting provides is titles, unless I just dont know where to click. Does anyone know where the actual papers or abstracts are published?

Hi Jeff

I've just added a reply to an earlier post about the iwCLL 2023 conference to provide a link to the full abstracts in Leukemia and Lymphoma's online journal."
