This year we were proud to make three Fellowship Awards as part of the EBMT-AMGEN Fellowship Programme. The Fellowship Evaluation Committee commented on the high-calibre of all the applications that had been made this year. Dr. Tomas Skacel, International Medical Affairs Director, who represented AMGEN on the Evaluation Committee commented:

"Amgen congratulates the winners for their excellent preclinical and clinical fellowship research projects in the field of hemato-oncology. We are proud to support the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Clinical Fellowship program and hope that this opportunity will allow these promising young physicians to pursue their important projects which will contribute to advances in clinical research and improve patient care."

Our congratulations go to Annalisa Ruggeri (Milan), Shaul Avraham (Israel) and Cindy Lee (Australia) and also to Marie von Lilienfeld-Toal (Germany) who was presented with her award from 2006, we wish them all the best in their respective projects.
