Speaking on cancer genomics and drug discovery

Dr AuClair is a leading researcher with a primary focus on multiple myeloma. The MMRF’s scientific plan, which Dr AuClair oversees, is to achieve a cure for multiple myeloma through immunotherapy, investment, and data. The MMRF are gathering data through studies such as The MMRF CureCloud, the first and largest myeloma genomic dataset, and The CoMMpass Study, designed to provide as much information as possible about myeloma by studying patients longitudinally, and collecting as much data as possible.
