2019 MPN Challenge together with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

The primary goal of the MPN Research Foundation’s research strategy is to understand and control the progression of the MPNs from chronic to life-threatening stages. 

In order to do that, we believe our focus should be the elimination of the mutant stem cells which promote these diseases.  

2019 focus areas: 

1. Immunotherapeutic approaches for MPNs

2. Targeting the driver mutations associated with MPN

3. New mechanisms of action

4. Repurposing existing drugs for use in MPN

5. Development of biomarkers of disease progression

6. Stem cell transplantation

7. Quality of life research

Funding: $200,000 total 
Duration: 2 years 

Research Authority due date: 25.3.19
