For #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, we are highlighting blood cancer research from across #MRCWIMM every Monday.

This week, hear from Prof Thomas Milne as he discusses his latest article in Blood on gene regulation in KMT2A rearranged acute lymphoblastic #leukaemia.

🩸 September is #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth.

Over 40,000 people are diagnosed with blood cancer each year in the UK.

Throughout September, we’ll highlight #BloodCancerResearch taking place at the #MRCWIMM & the people behind it.
