Meet Rihab Nasr, who is one of the incredible climbers who will be trekking the Avenue of Volcanoes in Ecuador this February!

Rihab is a cancer researcher focused on developing targeted therapies for leukemias and biomarkers for early cancer detection. She is also the founder of AMALOUNA, an American University of Beirut-affiliated organisation dedicated to fighting cancer through awareness, prevention, and research.

This February, Rihab and her daughter will join a team of scientists, oncologists, advocates, and CML patients climbing for a cure.

"I believe scientific research does not happen in a vacuum. Scientists belong to a community that extends beyond geographic borders with the unique goal of spreading knowledge and finding solutions to major health issues such as cancer," says Rihab.

We're excited to introduce Yasmina Al Ghadban, who is one of the inspiring climbers taking on the Avenue of Volcanoes in Ecuador this year!

Yasmina is a PhD student in Women's Health and an aspiring future physician. As the daughter of a cancer researcher, she was immersed in conversations about CML from an early age, learning about its treatment and witnessing the transformative impact of research on patient outcomes.

This February, Yasmina and her mother will embark on this challenging trek together, joining a team of individuals committed to advancing CML research.

CML doesn't discriminate, but access to treatment does.

While patients in some countries have access to life-saving medications and cutting-edge care, millions of others face barriers that put their lives at risk.

We climb to change that – to ensure everyone with CML, everywhere in the world, has access to the care they deserve.

Help us bridge the gap: climb-for-a-cure.raiselysite.com

🎙️ New interview: Prof. Susan Branford on genomics in CML

During the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, Professor Susan Branford (SA Pathology, Adelaide) presented the first analysis from the International CML Foundation Genomics Alliance using data from the HARMONY Alliance Foundation Platform.

In an interview conducted by the HARMONY Alliance Foundation, Prof. Branford discusses how somatic mutations present at diagnosis in patients with chronic phase CML receiving frontline imatinib are associated with a higher rate of treatment failure, and what these findings mean for risk stratification and personalised care.
