Evans MDS Summit
The EvansMDS MDS Summit
After two years of virtual meetings, it was great to see everyone in-person October 13-14 at the AC Mariott in downtown Nashville. A lot of new research was presented – we were pleased to see that the pandemic shutdowns couldn’t keep the MDS Community from moving forward. We’ll announce the date and location of the next MDS Summit 2023 soon.
In addition to sponsoring our own MDS Summits, EvansMDS provides support for meetings organized by other organizations which cover important aspects of MDS medical research.
Past meetings include:
MDS Summit 2021 (virtual)
MDS Summit 2020 (virtual)
Splicing Factor Mutations and RNA Biology In Cancer Workshop 2019
Workshop on Splicing Factor Mutations in Cancer (October 29 – 30, 2016)
Tenth International Workshop on the Molecular Aspects of Myeloid Stem Cell Development and Leukemia
Collaboration is Critical for the Advancement of MDS Therapies
Mr. Evans was frustrated by the siloed nature of medical research. He believed that collaboration between specialized researchers was critical to achieving rapid progress and realizing significant patient benefits. EvansMDS extends this vision through the specifics of our granting process and through our sponsorship of important meetings of MDS researchers pursuing cutting edge topics. These meetings allow researchers to share their unpublished work within the MDS community to obtain valuable peer feedback as well as to provide opportunities for the acceleration of new discoveries through the synergistic combination of laboratories working on complementary investigations, or with access to alternative patient populations, supporting data, techniques, or samples.
