The Section of Haemato-Oncology is an integrated Section that brings together basic laboratory research, molecular diagnostics and treatment of the blood cell cancers of adults and children (acute and chronic leukaemias, lymphomas and myeloma). The Section’s major objectives are:
- To uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of leukaemias, lymphomas and myeloma (i.e. the blood cell cancers)
- To apply this knowledge to achieve two practical goals: (a) to advance our understanding of the aetiology of leukaemia leading in the long term to the introduction of preventive measures and (b) to improve the management of patients via the development of new molecular tools for differential diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring and treatment
