ISEH 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting - Highlights from the New Investigators Committee

-
Image
  It’s a wrap for the 53rd ISEH Annual Scientific Meeting that took place at the Sheraton Hotel from 29 August - 01 September 2024. Each year, the international community comes together to share the newest techniques and fascinating advances in the field of experimental hematology. This year we were hosted in the windy city with 449 scientists and ISEH members from 30 different countries from around the world that attended (around 40-45% trainees). In contrast to larger conferences like ASH, the ISEH meetings, with fewer than 500 attendees, offer a more intimate setting with exceptional networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with people closely aligned with your work. We would like to start our highlights with a picture from one of our trainees from the New Investigators session: Dr. Xinjian Mao was showing the reconstitution of mouse E11.5 trunk section by Slide-seq and Merfish.

Lab Spotlight: Elf Lab

  Each month, Simply Blood spotlights a lab contributing to the fields of hematology, immunology, stem cell research, cell and gene therapies, and more. Get to know groups doing cutting edge research from around the world! This month, we are featuring the Elf Lab which is based out of the Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah ( https://www.elflab.org/ ). What does your lab study? The primary focus of my lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern myeloid blood cancers, with particular emphasis on MPNs. The long-term vision of my research program is to elucidate molecular dependencies specific to MPN stem cells (MPN-SCs) that can be targeted for therapeutic intervention with the ultimate goal of eradicating MPN-SCs, sparing normal HSCs, and curing the disease. When I first started my lab, we were particularly interested in how CALR mutations hijack ER stress response pathways to promote survival. Through these studies, we found that though type 1 and type 2 CALR mu
