A Snowy Day in Atlanta to Commence #ASH17

By Andrea Greif | December 09, 2017

The 59th ASH (American Society of Hematology) Annual Meeting & Exposition kicks off tomorrow here in Atlanta, drawing more than 25,000 researchers, physicians, biopharmaceutical company executives, patient advocates and industry experts from around the world to share the latest scientific clinical data in the blood cancers and other blood disorders.

As we do each year, LLS opened the #ASH2017 weekend by hosting our own scientific symposium today, one day before the official start of the meeting. Not even a messy morning of sleet, snow and slush that practically paralyzed this southern city kept the at-capacity crowd of 500 from attending the program, “Precision and Emerging Medicine for Hematological Diseases.”
