About Us

The Indian Myeloma Academic Groupe (IMAGe) is formed to strengthen research and create awareness about plasma cell disorders in the Indian subcontinent. It is a common platform for patients, caregivers, residents/fellows, and treating physicians. We target at forming consensus guidelines/ recommendations that can be adapted to the Indian subcontinent. ‘IMAGe’ publishes patient information relevant from time to time. This group was conceived during the State-of-the-Art Myeloma conference at PGIMER, Chandigarh in September 2016 and formally launched in February 2018 during the Indian Myeloma Congress at AHRR, Delhi.
