Our expertise
- Comprehensive diagnostics of leukemias and lymphomas from a single provider, combining information from the various diagnostic areas and summarizing it in integrated reports
- Digitally controlled data evaluation using state-of-the-art software and algorithms including artificial intelligence (AI) methods
- Error prevention through automation and the digitalization of laboratory processes

Our methods
United within a single facility, our interdisciplinary structure guarantees valid, comprehensive and prompt diagnosis thanks to a steady flow of information between the departments. In this context, we work with more than 900 devices and have 993 standard operating procedures (SOP).
The laboratory
The Munich Leukemia Laboratory (MLL) is one of the world's largest leukemia labs. Boasting state-of-art equipment and a bright and functional facility layout, MLL meets all the requirements of an innovative and modern workplace. With its adherence to the principles of consummate curiosity and its dedication to progress, the new-look MLL nevertheless remains true to its goal of facilitating access to targeted, efficient and timely therapy to patients worldwide.
Our culture
We believe that extraordinary things emerge by blending knowledge, courage and responsibility.
In a world of constantly evolving, groundbreaking opportunities, our aim is to offer the best leukemia diagnostics at global level and to make it available to all patients.
The team
We seek to comprehend what is not yet fully understood: how leukemia emerges, its interdependencies and complexity. As a large, interdisciplinary team of experienced doctors, biologists, bioinformatics specialists and medical technicians, we work to provide patients worldwide with more targeted and efficient treatments as quickly as possible. Our deployment of state-of-the-art methods and devices, continuous communication of test results between the various departments, as well as constant further training, ensure the speed and reliability of our diagnoses. Consistent sharing of test results and the steady expansion of staff knowledge guarantee reliable diagnostics. The team of excellently qualified staff members is therefore the nerve center at MLL.

The company MLL
We are a leading institution for leukemia diagnostics and research, operating within a highly innovative environment. As a fast-growing international and interdisciplinary enterprise, we attach the highest importance to training our staff and developing our technological strategies. Our aim is to shape the future of hematological diagnostics and therapy through the use of state-of-the-art molecular and IT-supported methodologies.
MLL Münchner Leukämielabor GmbH was founded in 2005 by Prof. Dr. Dr. Torsten Haferlach, Prof. Dr. Claudia Haferlach, and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kern. MLL provides laboratory diagnostic services, specialized in leukemias and lymphomas, which are clinically reported together with MLL MVZ GmbH. MLL is constantly developing, both methodically in diagnostics and corporately. Thus, today further companies belong to MLL, which are regulated by cooperation agreements and partly managed in personnel union.

MLL MVZ GmbH was formed in 2021 by changing the name of MHP Münchner Hämatologiepraxis, which was founded in 2005. The MLL MVZ (Medical Care Center for Internal Medicine, Hematology and Internal Oncology) operates as a practice where 5000 patients are treated annually. In addition, the MLL MVZ provides laboratory services in cooperation with MLL Münchner Leukämielabor GmbH.

In 2017, MLL Dx GmbH was founded, which provides laboratory services for international patients and clinical studies.
Furthermore, MLL Dx GmbH hosts a sequencing service that became visible as its own label MLLSEQ since 2021. From wet-lab to data visualization, MLLSEQ offers its expertise and sequencing capabilities using Next Generation Sequencing.

MLLi GmbH was founded in 2017. It reflects innovation by name and deals with Big Data generated by high-throughput sequencing. MLLi provides physicians and scientists with bioinformatics tools to interpret sequencing data efficiently and state-of-the-art. MLLi uses, among other things, MLL's in-house variant database, which is currently the largest in the world in the field of hematological neoplasms.

Seminar rooms
Five conference rooms with sophisticated equipment, electrically dimmable glass partitioning walls, and a lecture theatre which can accommodate 190 guests, extend over a 500 m2 surface. When it came to furnishing the conference area, emphasis was placed on high quality and functionality – both in terms of interior design and in terms of the multimedia technology.
The premises are used for in-house trainings and meetings, as well as for conferences and congresses with external partners.
Should you be interested in renting these premises, please do not hesitate to contact us: Phone: +49 (0)89 99017-0, or via email at info@mll.com
