September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. We stand with everyone living with blood cancer — this month and every day.

Publications & Presentations

Advancing scientific understanding from research to real-world evidence.
Every study contributes to a deeper understanding of blood cancer and the potential for new treatment approaches. Through clinical trials, real-world evidence, investigator-sponsored research, and scientific collaboration, Geron is committed to generating evidence that may help advance science, inform clinical practice, and improve outcomes for people living with blood cancer.
