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 These meetings allow researchers to share their unpublished work within the MDS community to obtain valuable peer feedback as well as to provide opportunities for the acceleration of new discoveries through the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.
