Dr. Steven Treon is Director of the Bing Center for Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Chair of the WM Clinical Trials Group, and Principal Organizer of the International Workshops on WM (IWWM). Dr. Treon and his laboratory, through whole genome sequencing, were the first to discover the MYD88 mutation in WM, occurring in 95% of WM patients, and the presence and significance of CXCR4 mutations in WM. He was the Principal Investigator on the pivotal trial that led to the first-ever approval of a drug for WM, ibrutinib (Imbruvica), by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. He is the recipient of the Robert A. Kyle Award for Outstanding Contributions to WM, and the Jan Gösta Waldenström Lifetime Achievement Award, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London and a fellow of the American College of Physicians for his work on WM.
