Precision medicine: Finding the right treatment and improving treatments for each of us

Scientists continue to gain a deeper understanding of the genetic changes that lead to the development of cancers. This knowledge is being used to develop more precise treatments for blood cancers.

Join Dr. Aly Karsan to learn about the latest research developments in precision medicine. Dr. Karsan is internationally recognized for his work on blood cancer genetics. He and his research team are studying the behaviour of acute leukemia stem cells to identify pathways, which could ultimately provide the knowledge to develop new therapies.

MD
Dr. Karsan is a hematopathologist and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Blood Cancers. As a clinician-scientist, Dr. Karsan’s dual roles in the clinic and his translational research program in AML and MDS feed on each other to drive progress in understanding mechanisms of therapy resistance and relapse in myeloid cancers.
