The main, let’s say, issue, or that we now face, is that we are living in the era of next-generation sequencing and in general high-throughput technologies. So I think that the main areas of interest have to do with, let’s say, our adaptation to these novel areas. We have new technology, so we have much more information now to deal with. And the thing that our main purpose now should be to somehow try and get the most advantage that we can get from this much larger amount of information that we get...
The main, let’s say, issue, or that we now face, is that we are living in the era of next-generation sequencing and in general high-throughput technologies. So I think that the main areas of interest have to do with, let’s say, our adaptation to these novel areas. We have new technology, so we have much more information now to deal with. And the thing that our main purpose now should be to somehow try and get the most advantage that we can get from this much larger amount of information that we get.
For example, we have some current projects that are running that have to do with our understanding of the biological mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of CLL, such as the somatic hypermutation mechanism, and also, for example, affinity maturation.
So I can say to keep it simple that from one point what we are trying to do is to better understand mechanisms that are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, and on the other hand try to see if we can find novel biomarkers that could help us better assess the prognosis and the prediction for patients.
