The Ham-Wasserman Lecture was named in honour of two past ASH presidents, the late Dr Thomas Hale Ham and the late Dr Louis R. Wasserman, distinguished American Haematologists who contributed extensively to the Society. The lectureship is offered to an individual from outside the United States who has made a major contribution to the understanding of an area that relates to haematology. Professor Nathwani presented on the potential of gene therapy as a functional cure for haemophilia to liberate patients from the burden of disease by driving continuous, endogenous expression of factor VIII or factor IX proteins. He also reviewed the recent advances in this therapy and discussed the obstacles that will need to be overcome for wider availability of this novel treatment for inherited bleeding disorders and other monogenetic disorders.
