The Leukeamia & Blood Cancer Research Unit (LBCRU) sits within the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, and was established in 2013 with an initial commitment of $1,250,000 from LBC.
The team is identifying blood cancers’ molecular markers that will allow more targeted medical care, avoid aggressive treatments when they are not necessary, and pave the way to new therapies for blood cancer and blood conditions.
