📢 Gentler, smarter and more personalised therapies are reshaping the future of leukaemia treatment and care. We took a deep dive into some of the key takeaways from this year’s American Society of Haematology (ASH) conference. 🩸 #ASH25 @ash.hematology.org www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/stories/rese...

Last week, we shared the fantastic news about BE-CAR7 - a world-first therapy using CRISPR technology to treat T-cell leukaemia. 🔬 But what exactly is CRISPR? How is it different from standard CAR-T therapy? And why is it such a big deal? 👇 www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/stories/rese...

It was a pleasure to attend @ash.hematology.org this week and learn about all of the promising advancements in leukaemia treatment and care - from gentler treatments for AML to next-gen CAR-T therapies. Look out for our upcoming blog for a deeper dive! #ASH25 🩸

A major breakthrough! A world-first therapy - BE-CAR7 - is using base-edited immune cells to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) - one of the most aggressive and hardest-to-treat types of leukaemia. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj38ymeyg4mo

We are delighted to announce further funding into ground-breaking research in 2026, by continuing our investment in early career scientists & clinicians! 📢 Applications for our 2026 John Goldman Fellowships are now open. Find out more: www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/research-and...

📢 A significant step forward in expanding treatment options for B-ALL. We’re thrilled that Aucatzyl - a CAR-T cell therapy for treating relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia - has been approved for use on the NHS in England. www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/news/leukaem...

How incredible is this?! Huge congratulations and a big thank you to Shaun and Salim, who completed the world’s most dangerous dive to raise funds for life-changing leukaemia research in memory of their friend, Trish. 🧡👏 www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2135...

The recipient of our 2025 Patient Care Pioneer Award: Dr Sarah Stapleton 🏆 Dr Stapleton will look at the psychological support that leukaemia patients might need, and develop a framework to help guide healthcare professionals. www.leukaemiauk.org.uk/research-and...

Major breakthrough for T-ALL! Researchers have identified a previously unknown subtype, which can be detected using routine tests. 👏 This means clinicians could soon pinpoint high-risk cases at diagnosis & personalise treatment for children with T-ALL. bioengineer.org/breakthrough...

This is deeply concerning. Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment in all cancers, including leukaemia, which is why we’re calling on the Government to commit to urgently tackling delays in early diagnosis in their upcoming National Cancer Plan. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’re continuing to fund incredible research and talented scientists who are working hard to find kinder, more effective treatments to stop leukaemia devastating lives. But none of this would be possible without your support. 🧡 Here are a few words from our researchers… 🎥

Researchers have used gene-editing tools to map mutations in the ABL1 kinase domain - a critical component driving CML - and identify which of these mutations are resistant to certain drugs, opening the door to more personalised treatment options. 👏 scienmag.com/enhanced-res...

Thank you @clivejonesmp.bsky.social for leading today's Westminster Hall debate and raising the issues faced by leukaemia patients. Our thanks also to @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social for echoing our call to ensure the upcoming 10-Year Workforce Plan enables and supports the National Cancer Plan.

Exciting news! Researchers have now uncovered why proteasome inhibitors, a class of drugs that work well in multiple myeloma, aren’t as effective in AML patients - and how to change this. 👏 Read more: www.technologynetworks.com/tn/news/dual...

Thank you Gavin Williamson MP for raising Ruth’s case in Parliament and asking the Government what steps are being taken to support patients with AML. We welcome @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social's recommitment to improving AML survival, something we are calling for in the upcoming National Cancer Plan.

We’re thrilled to have co-supported Molecular Haemopoiesis 2025, bringing together leading researchers exploring blood cell development. 🩸 It was great to see some of our past & present John Goldman Fellows deliver fascinating talks, and see such impactful science in action! 🔬
