With the theme “Next steps on the path to cure”, the Scientific Workshop provided a dedicated forum for the scientific community to share emerging discoveries, discuss current and future clinical trials, and identify opportunities to accelerate research that will improve outcomes for people living with myeloma.
The program featured presentations from internationally recognised experts Dr Suzanne Trudel (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Canada) and Dr Charlotte Pawlyn (The Institute of Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden Hospital, UK), alongside leading Australian researchers and clinicians working at the forefront of myeloma research.
Over two days, delegates examined a broad range of scientific topics including:
- Current and upcoming Australian clinical trials
- Translational research and novel therapeutic targets
- Functional genomics and precision medicine
- CAR T-cell therapies and immunotherapy
- High-risk myeloma biology
- Minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment
- Mechanisms of treatment resistance
- Emerging technologies and biomarkers
- Research priorities for the next generation of myeloma treatments
The workshop also provided an important platform for emerging researchers to present their work, share new ideas and build collaborations across institutions and disciplines.
A dedicated nursing stream complemented the scientific program, exploring the practical implications of emerging therapies and supporting excellence in the delivery of complex myeloma care.
The success of the 2026 National Myeloma Scientific Workshop reflects the strength of Australia’s myeloma research community and the collective commitment to advancing scientific discovery, expanding treatment options and ultimately reaching the final step on our path to cure.
Myeloma Australia extends its sincere thanks to all speakers, delegates, sponsors, exhibitors and organising committee members who contributed to the success of this important event.
Looking ahead to 2027
Myeloma Australia rotates their workshop events annually, so we will deliver a different workshop format in 2027.
The 2027 Clinical Education Workshop will feature a comprehensive education program for healthcare professionals focused on clinical practice, supportive care and multidisciplinary management of myeloma.
Running alongside this program will be a separate dedicated workshop for patients and carers, designed to support informed decision-making, shared understanding and improved engagement throughout the treatment journey.
Further details about the 2027 event will be announced in the coming months.
