Ageing is associated with an increased risk of developing various blood disorders, either malignant, e.g. myelodysplastic syndromes, or non-malignant, e.g. anemias. However, the molecular and cellular pathways in hematopoietic aging and associated hematological disease remain poorly understood. To address gaps in our knowledge, our Workshop will bring together basic, translational and clinical scientists to discuss key regulators of hematopoietic stem cell ontogeny, cell fate specification and self-renewal upon aging and malignant transformation, highlighting state-of-the-art technologies such as imaging, single-cell sequencing and model systems. The FEBS Workshop is also supported by the JM Foundation and will take place in the beautiful setting of Sissi in Crete.
The event website is under development.
