Global Scholars in Hematology: Latin America
Recording available to ISEH members soon!
ISEH is excited to announce our new webinar series, Global Scholars in Hematology. This new webinar series brings together scientists from around the world to highlight leading experimental hematology research and foster meaningful global collaborations. This welcoming, community‑driven series helps attendees expand their scientific perspectives, build enduring professional networks, and elevate their profiles on an international stage. Join us to connect with colleagues, discover new opportunities, and support the next generation of hematology scientists.
Featured Speakers

New Investigators Committee Live Webinar:
Clonal Hematopoiesis
Recording is now available! Members can enjoy free access to this webinar recording.
Featuring speakers Elisa Laurenti, PhD (Professor of Stem Cells and Hematopoiesis, University of Cambridge, UK) and David Kent, PhD (Professor, Centre for Blood Research, University of York, UK).
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is highly prevalent among older individuals and is associated with a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hematological malignancies. The condition is driven by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with acquired mutations in epigenetic regulators – most commonly DNMT3A, TET2, or ASXL1 – which confer the stem cells with a myeloid bias and a self-renewal advantage over non-mutant HSCs. Understanding the mechanisms governing acquisition of CH mutations and subsequent outgrowth of mutant clones is key in order to prevent disease in our increasingly older population and extend human health-span.
In the ISEH New Investigator Committee Webinar, moderated by NIC member Dr. Jasmin Rettkowski, we will hear from Prof. Elisa Laurenti (University of Cambridge, UK) and Prof. David Kent (University of York, UK). Together, Prof. Laurenti and Prof. Kent have transformed our understanding of HSC heterogeneity, self-renewal, and clonal dynamics.
