December 10-13, 2011, San Diego, CA - Researchers from the Bing Center for WM attended the 53rd Annual ASH Meeting and Exposition. There they delivered 5 oral presentations including findings from the first whole genome sequencing project for WM, and continuing investigations into the MYD88 signaling pathway, and expression of Oct-2, Spi-B, and Id2/Id1.

Three posters were also presented, showcasing the latest research in the areas of bortezomib-containing regimens, MicroRNA studies, and a multicenter study of the MTOR inhibitor Everolimus (RAD001).
