Join us for an engaging episode with Dr. Stephen Hibbs from Queen Mary University of London as he discusses the environmental impacts of hematology. Alongside our host Dr. Sarah de Vlieger, they explore how climate change is already affecting hematology, emphasizing that these effects are being felt now rather than in the future.

The conversation highlights how climate change alters aspects of hematology practice, such as the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections due to evolving disease vectors. Dr. Hibbs describes also the surprising link between extreme heat during pregnancy and an increased risk of children developing ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). He further discusses practice-changing initiatives, like using sevoflurane instead of desflurane as an anesthetic to reduce environmental impact, and explains his work on improving the logistics of blood transfusions to lessen their ecological footprint.

Finally, Dr. Hibbs encourages hematologists to focus on actionable steps to minimize their environmental impact, advocating for practical changes in clinical practices and increased awareness of the healthcare sector's contribution to global emissions.

Listen to Dr. Jan Moritz Middeke from University Hospital in Dresden as he discusses the future of clinical trials in hematology and the role artificial intelligence (AI) may play in that field.

Dr. Middeke explains how synthetic data is generated and what are the potential benefits and limitations of its use in clinical trials. He also points out the open questions and hurdles that need to be addressed before AI-generated synthetic patients can be included in clinical trial design.

Tune in to hear how Dr. Middeke envisages the role of AI in solving the challenges of clinical trials for rare malignant diseases and how it may accelerate data generation and access to novel therapies.

Join us for this interview with Dr Río-Machín from Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain as she discusses her research on rare subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which she conducted thanks to the EHA Junior Research Grant.

Her discovery of transcriptional activator of key leukemia drivers in one of these subtypes may pave way to new therapeutic approaches.

Tune in to hear dr. Río-Machín‘s call for more collaborative research to achieve impactful results for patients in the future.
