Dr. María-Victoria Mateos, MD, PhD, is Head of Myeloma and clinical trials Unit at the Haematology Department and Professor of Medicine at the University of Salamanca, Spain. She serves as coordinator of GEM (Spanish Myeloma Group), with direct involvement in the design and development of clinical trials. She has coordinated many clinical trials especially in the setting of transplant ineligible and smoldering myeloma and these trials have profoundly influenced current options for the management of these patient populations.
She has published over 400 papers in international journals with an H index of 96. Dr. Mateos is also a member of the IMWG (International MM Working Group), IMS (International MM Society), EHA and ASH. She has served on the ASH Scientific Committee on plasma cell diseases between 2015-2019 and on the EHA’s Scientific Program Committee and Advisory Board since 2013 until 2020 being chair of the Scientific Program Committee in 2019.
I look forward to celebrating her at this year’s International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Conference in Frankfurt, Germany on June 7, 2023.
