Versiti - 2024 Hematopoiesis Symposium | Versiti Blood Research Institute
 

Hematopoiesis Symposium

Engage with the brightest minds in hematopoiesis at Versiti Blood Research Institute’s inaugural Hematopoiesis Symposium.

Hematopoiesis Symposium

Versiti Blood Research Institute’s (VBRI) hematopoiesis program focuses on understanding how blood cells develop and how different mutations contribute to leukemia. VBRI’s inaugural Hematopoiesis Symposium brings together international leaders in normal and malignant blood cell development to present their latest findings. Our goal is to be a leading center for hematopoiesis, and this symposium provides us an exciting opportunity to highlight our labs’ work and engage with some of the brightest minds in hematopoiesis.

Date:Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024
Time:8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Location:Versiti Blood Research Institute | 8733 W. Watertown Plank Rd., Milwaukee, WI 53226

Research Seminars
Medical education seminars and lectures for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and investigators at Versiti Blood Research Institute.
 
Hematopoiesis & Stem Cell Biology
We study blood cell development and its regulation in health and disease. Once we know what’s broken, we can design strategies to fix.

Versiti Blood Research Institute
Versiti Blood Research Institute investigators study blood disorders like hemophilia, blood cancers like leukemia, and other blood diseases.
