June 1-5, 2012, Chicago, IL - Researchers from the Bing Center for WM attended the 2012 Annual ASCO Meeting and Exposition, which was held at McCormick Place. There they presented 3 posters including findings from the first whole genome sequencing project for WM, and continuing investigations into the MYD88 signaling pathway, L265P Mutation, and BTK-inhibitor PCI-32765.
