Description

The International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF) and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) are proud to announce the fourth IWMF-LLS STRATEGIC RESEARCH ROADMAP INITIATIVE - a Request for Proposals (RFP) to help further knowledge in four key domains of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) research:
- Genomics and Epigenomics
- Signaling
- Immunology/Immunotherapy
- Bone Marrow/Tumor MicroenvironmentThe IWMF supports research to understand the biology of WM, with the goals of improving quality of life for WM patients, discovering new treatments, and ultimately, finding a cure. IWMF funding for research has helped to provide insight into understanding the basic biology and genetics of WM. This research in turn has played a significant role in the development of treatments and treatment guidelines in current use, as well as potential new drugs still in the pipeline.
