ERIC 2024 | The importance of understanding cellular functionality to develop biological therapies for CLL
Francesco Forconi, MD, DM, PhD, FRCPath, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK, discusses the shift in treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from intensive immunochemotherapy to biological therapies, emphasizing the importance of two key biological pillars: B-cell receptor signaling and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. He argues that understanding the functional behavior of cells is crucial for developing novel therapies, which may not solely rely on genetics. This interview took place at the 2024 European Research Initiative on CLL (ERIC) Meeting in Barcelona, Spain.
