Steven P. Treon
Discovered the MYD88 mutation that defines Waldenström macroglobulinaemia and led the trial that made ibrutinib its first approved drug.
Overview
Steven Treon led the whole-genome sequencing that found the MYD88 L265P mutation in more than 90% of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia, a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target, and then the pivotal trial of ibrutinib that produced the disease's first FDA approval. He identified CXCR4 mutations as a resistance mechanism and directs the world's largest Waldenström research centre at Dana-Farber.
