Targeting the Immune System in MDS (featuring Prof Dominik Wolf)

Join us for a conversation between prof. Kirsten Gronbaek and her guest prof. Dominik Wolf, as they discuss targeting the immune system in MDS management. In light of accumulating evidence that inflammatory signals play a role throughout disease evolution in MDS patients, prof. Wolf elucidates the current insights and possible future therapeutic options. He uses the example of targeting NLRP3/IL-1 axis in low-risk MDS to highlight the need of understanding the underlying cellular biology to translate that knowledge into clinical approaches. He also discusses the concept of possibly targeting both non-clonal and clonal compartments for better patient outcomes in the future. Tune in, to hear about other future directions in treatment of MDS, such as recent developments in CAR T-cell approaches and about the central role that allo-transplantation is likely to keep in the treatment of high-risk MDS. You will also hear about the potential link between inflammation and fatigue, which is clinically highly relevant, but as yet an unsolved issue in MDS. Host: prof. Kirsten Gronbaek Guest: prof.

Hematology Portraits: Prof Kostas Stamatopoulos

Join us for an interview with Prof Kostas Stamatopoulos, as he shares his personal journey as both a medical doctor and a researcher in hematology and understand how these two activities have always been profoundly linked in his drive to deliver impactful solutions for patients - even though years may pass between a discovery and a change for patients in clinical practice. Prof Stamatopoulos describes here his work into stereotypy of B-cell receptor (BCR) immunoglobulin and how this phenomenon explains the existence of the same or highly similar subsets of BCR clones in unrelated patients with CLL. Our guest explains further how this knowledge is leading to the classification of CLL patients into subsets with specific pathologies and might help personalize the treatment. Next to translational research, Prof Stamatopoulos is focusing on patient empowerment. In this podcast, he will explain how he strives to create a more participatory healthcare model, and how he aims to transform education and training for young clinicians and researchers.
