@HARMONY Talks: We are organizing an interactive session and would like to talk with you!

The HARMONY session is scheduled for 28 March 2017, from 11:00-12:30 hrs. 

"The HARMONY Alliance: Setting the Framework is the title of our session. Clinical and non-clinical data are of enormous value for the development of new treatment options and for clinical decision-making when treating HM patients. While large data collections of specific patient populations can only be realized through a pan-European approach, there is also an unmet need to harmonize outcome measures and endpoint definitions for HMs and their collection at the European level. As a Public-Private Network of Excellence for Big Data in Hematology, HARMONY will illustrate the steps to take in order to meet the goals and ultimately benefit patients.
