The University of Chicago Medicine has launched a center dedicated to rare blood cancers.
Led by UChicago Medicine hematologist/oncologist Michael Drazer, MD, PhD, as director, the Miller Family Center for Rare Blood Cancers began operations in July, according to a Dec. 9 news release from the health system.
Samuel Volchenboum, MD, PhD, a professor of pediatrics and associate chief research informatics officer for the university’s biological sciences division, will lead a team within the center to create a data commons for rare blood cancers.
The center was established through a gift from philanthropists Mark and Maureen Miller, the release said.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
