EHA25 Virtual

Three scientists from the Division of Experimental Hematology will present their work at the annual meeting of the European Hematology Association, which will take place in June as a virtual conference due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sina Stäble will record an oral presentation on "COMBINED SINGLE-CELL DNA METHYLOME AND TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS FACILITATES DECONVOLUTION OF HEMATOPOIETIC COMMITMENT DECISIONS” that will be available to stream during the meeting, and up to the end of October. She will also participate in a live question and answer panel discussion during the meeting.

Megan Druce will present an ePoster with audio narrative on "ASSESSMENT OF MUTATION BURDEN IN HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL CLONES AS A RESULT OF AGING AND INFLAMMATORY STRESS” which is a collaboration between the Division of Experimental Hematology and the group of Inigo Martincorena at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge. Megan will also record an oral presentation that will be broadcast as part of the Young EHA Workshop that takes place before the main meeting. 

Ana-Matea Mikecin will also present an ePoster at the meeting, focussed on her study of the effect of different forms of stress on hematopoietic stem cell biology: "HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS SUSTAIN MATURE BLOOD CELL PRODUCTION DURING STRESS HEMATOPOIESIS ON THE EXPENSE OF SELF-RENEWAL."

Advances in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine EMBL Conference

Congratulations to Megan Druce. Her abstract, “Assessment of mutation burden in hematopoietic stem cell clones as a result of ageing and inflammatory stress” has been selected for a short talk at the forthcoming EMBL conference on Advances in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, in March. The group will also be represented with poster presentations from Marleen Büchler, Ana-Matea Mikecin and Stephan Krämer (collaboration with the Lipka group).

 

Ruzhica Bogeska at ASH 2019

Congratulations to Ruzhica Bogeska and Sina Stäble, whose abstracts have both been selected for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, which will be held in Orlando, Florida, in December. Both Ruzhica and Sina have been given prestigious Abstract Achievement Awards to help offset the costs of travel to the meeting in Orlando.

Ruzhica’s abstract, "No Evidence for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self-Renewal in-Vivo Following Inflammatory Challenge” has been awarded an oral presentation, while Sina’s abstract, "Deconvolution of Hematopoietic Commitment Decisions By Genome-Wide Analysis of Progressive DNA Methylation Changes”, will be presented at a poster.

Congratulations to Sina Stäble. Her abstract, “Deconvolution of hematopoietic commitment decisions by genome-wide analysis of progressive DNA methylation changes”, has been selected for oral presentation at the annual meeting of the European Hematology Association (EHA), which will take place from June 13th-16th in Amsterdam. Sina’s project forms part of a long-standing collaboration between the laboratories of Mick Milsom and Daniel Lipka, from the Division of Cancer Epigenomics at the DKFZ.
