ASH Meeting Collides With Emergence of Omicron Variant

This week, the promise of major progress in our understanding of myeloma from research at ASH this year coincided with concerning news of a new COVID-19 variant. IMF Chairman Dr. Brian G.M. Durie examines both.

Thank YOU for Helping Us Reach Our Goal This #GivingTuesday!

This year, our goal was to raise $50,000 for #GivingTuesday to support the International Myeloma Foundation’s (IMF) mission of improving the lives of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure. Through your generous donations, we were able to exceed expectations and for that, we are truly grateful! Your kind generosity will go a long way in continuing essential research for the myeloma community through 2021 and beyond.
