HAI Conference in Belfast
We are pleased to share an update on some of our current research that was shared at this year’s Haematology Association of Ireland (HAI) conference in Belfast. The meeting was also a great celebration of 25 years of the HAI itself. We are also very proud of our BCNI researchers who additionally received awards at the event.
Wanshan Hu (University of Galway) presented a poster of his current research towards better understanding exhaustion of natural killer cells in multiple myeloma. Leonie Durkan (University of Galway) spoke about her work on how osteoblasts in the bone marrow affect natural killer cell function in acute myeloid leukaemia and received a President’s recognition prize. Roisin McAvera (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) presented her work on SKY92 molecular profiling in genetic risk-stratification for multiple myeloma patients and was awarded the overall President’s prize.
Congratulations to all who participated in the conference and a sincere thank you to the HAI organising committee for facilitating another highly educational and interesting event that provided the opportunity to meet and hear from such an expert group of clinicians and scientists in the field of haematology.
