JLRF Award
The 2019 Japan Leukemia Research Fund Awarding Ceremony was held on November 9, 2019 at the Incorporated Foundation, The Industry Club of Japan. The awards were given to 13 researchers and 2 groups this year.
Ogimura Takashi Special Prize
- Daichi Inoue
- [Department of Hematology-Oncology, Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe]
- “Clarifying the role of novel SWI/SNF complex in 3D chromatin organization and MDS pathogenesis”
Shimizu Award
- Junko Takita
- [Department of Pediatrics, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University]
- “Studies on Molecular profiling of pediatric intractable and development of new therapeutic strategy of hematopoietic malignancies”
Credit Saison Award
- Ayako Nakamura Ishizu
- [Department of microscopic and developmental anatomy, Tokyo Women’s Medical University]
- “Thrombopietin(Thpo)/Mpl signaling is essential for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs). We previously reported that Thpo/Mpl signaling stimulated mitochondria functions in HSCs to maintain their stem cell potential. We will investigate the dependence of leukemic stem cells on Thpo/Mpl signaling and analyze whether Thpo/Mpl signaling mediated mitochondrial activation plays a role in the pathogenesis of leukemia.”
