9:00 AM Changing views of the hematopoietic stem cell: lineage bias, clonal hematopoiesis and impact on disease
Join us on October 26 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT for our annual Gairdner Science Week Symposium, live and IN-PERSON for the first time in nearly three years.
Inspired by the work of 2022 Canada Gairdner International Award laureate, Dr. John Dick, this symposium will bring together some of the world’s top researchers in the field of blood stem cells. It will explore the evolution over the years of the concept of the multipotent blood stem cell first put forward by Till and McCulloch and how this has impacted our understanding of blood-borne diseases.
