About this Seminar

A majority of hematologic malignancies arise from B-cells undergoing the adaptive immune response.  Dr. Melnick will discuss recent insights explaining why this particular pathway is so prone to transformation and how B-cells arise from aberrant immune niches.  He will also discuss some of the therapeutic vulnerabilities discovered based on mechanistic observations of the pathogenic trajectory of these tumors.
