Information Letter of the European LeukemiaNet
The Information Letter is provided as needed, usually before the annual Symposium of the European LeukemiaNet. It is a collaboration of the European Leukemia Information Center (ELIC), the Network Management Center (NMC), and the contributing authors. Topics of this online-publication medium range from basic research to clinical trials and the latest activities of the different work packages.
All ELN members are cordially invited to submit proposals of their field of research for prospective Information Letters to ELIC. |
