New study from CBR Leaders and BRC collaborators on COVID-19 mortality in patients with blood cancers vs the general population (UK cohort, ~4M people) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41220109/ #COVID19 #Haematology

COVID-19-related mortality in a real-world cohort of 18 883 patients with premalignant and malignant haematological neoplasms: An analysis from the UK's Haematological Malignancy Research Network - PubMed

When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the global COVID-19 pandemic, it was recognised that patients with haematological cancers would be more susceptible to severe disease.

Exciting news! 🎉 We'd like to welcome Professor Ian Hitchcock as our new Director. With a passion for innovation and collaboration, @ian-hitchcock.bsky.social will lead us into an inspiring new chapter of research excellence

Great to see key partners from York and Leeds at the BRC Haematology Theme meeting today at the National STEM Learning Centre Colleagues gathered to discuss recent progress, data, and results from their research on immunosenescence, inflammation, clonal haematopoiesis, and epidemiology

Research conducted by our Director @ian-hitchcock.bsky.social's collaborators in Oxford has found that platelets could help make cancer-detecting blood tests much more effective Read more about the study on ‪@cancerresearchuk.org‬ website news.cancerresearchuk.org/2025/08/14/p...
