Webinar Date and Time: Wednesday, November 9, 2022 4:00 – 5:00 pm EST
As the first webinar in the Novel Lymphoma Therapies series, Dr. Michael Rauh and two of his trainees will provide an overview of precision-based medicine & research. This presentation will define what personalized medicine is, and how research can help doctors choose treatment options based on an individual’s genetic and molecular profile of cancer. This talk will highlight how precision-based medicine & research can help lymphoma patients access treatment options in Canada.
Speakers: Dr. Michael Rauh, Dr. Gillian Kupakuwana-Suk, Mr. Marco Buttigieg
Speaker Biographies:
Dr. Michael Rauh
Dr. Michael Rauh is a staff hematopathologist at the Kingston General Hospital and an Assistant Professor in the department of Pathology & Molecular Medicine at Queen’s University. He leads a research group that studies genetic and immune pathogenesis of myeloid cancer.
