Message from the President: Introducing the Paul S. Frenette Fund

-

The ISEH community is deeply saddened by the recent loss of Dr. Paul Frenette, a revered member of the ISEH community and ISEH Past President. In order to honor and memorialize Dr. Paul Frenette in a long-lasting way, ISEH is in the process of launching the “Paul S. Frenette Fund”.

The “Paul S. Frenette Fund” will be designed as an endowment, with a goal that its annual proceeds will be applied to generate an annual named “Paul S. Frenette Lecture” at the ISEH Annual Scientific Meeting, as well as towards travel grants in honor of Paul. These travel grants and lectures may be selected thematically, such as contributions submitted related to niche biology or sickle cell disease, or pioneering and visionary research in general that may be ahead of its time.

If you would like to contribute to the “Paul S. Frenette Fund” or learn more, please visit the ISEH website at https://www.iseh.org/page/frenettefund. ISEH is a registered 501(c)3 organization in United States of America.

ISEH will continue to share updates as we work towards the launching a Paul S. Frenette Lecture and travel grants. For any questions, please contact info@iseh.org.

Thank you for your continued support of ISEH.

Sincerely,



To hear more from the ISEH community on the legacy of Paul Frenette, an ISEH Past President, please visit here.

The Laurenti Lab, at Wellcome Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, Cambridge, UK 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 Laurenti Lab which is based out of the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, at the University of Cambridge in the UK ( https://www.stemcells.cam.ac.uk/people/pi/laurenti ). How long have you had your lab? And how many members make up your lab? I have started my group in September 2014, and currently our group is composed of seven people. Three postdocs, two PhD students and one research assistant, in addition to several students shared between our group and other research groups including; one bioinformatician and two postdocs. What is the major research theme of your lab? Our lab is interested in deciphering human haematopoiesis across the lifetime, ideally at single

The 52nd ISEH Annual Scientific Meeting took place at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge from 17-20 August 2023. Our Annual Scientific Meeting brought together more than 540 scientists and ISEH members from 25 different countries from around the world. This meeting in New York City was planned for 2020, but it had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 emergency. After three years, we finally got to roll our suitcases down the streets of NYC, which is a fantastic playground for networking. We were extremely happy and grateful to bring the community together again! The Science The meeting included many events that were targeted to a broad audience of scientists at various stages of their careers (from trainees to PIs). We had 31 invited speakers, 26 short talk presenters, 15 featured poster presentations and 217 poster presentations. The scientific sessions covered a wide range of topics from the molecular mechanisms of developmental and adult hematopoiesis, the role of the micro

How to Make the Most Out of Your Lab’s Move

“The lab is moving!” I must confess, when I heard these words from my mentor about a year and a half ago, my heart dropped. Lab relocation experiences are some of the worst horror stories that you hear from fellow researchers: precious samples lost, mouse colonies never recovered, months spent re-establishing protocols. Moreover, it also meant I would have to leave San Francisco, a beautiful city that I loved to live in, and where I found many friends. Being a scientist often means not having much choice of geographic location of your work. The choice of a particular subject or even broad field usually requires a move to a new city, or even a new country. Moving with the lab means making this choice again – do I leave my project and all the progress behind, or do I accept the delay in my research and go ahead. Now, two months after our move to New York, I would like to reflect on my experiences and that of my fellow lab members on our cross-country relocation from the trainee perspecti
