Vandaag hadden wij zijn 46e verjaardag met de nodige grappen en steken moeten kunnen vieren, maar helaas zal Stijn voor altijd 42 blijven. #voorStijn

Day 1 of my favorite conference of the year #EHA2025 in Milan, very happy to see my #TRTH friends again and almost experienced death by tiramisu. I am so ready for day 2 (the official start of the conference!)

The views do not disappoint! #EHA2025

On my way to #EHA2025 by train 🚆 from Leuven. First stops: Brussels 🇧🇪 and Paris 🇫🇷 - Boarding a direct train to Milan 🇮🇹 soon!
It’s slow(er) travel compared to flying, but very comfortable! I’m looking forward to the views from the window while traveling through the alps 🏞️🚠

For everyone going to #EHA2025 in Milan, don’t forget to bring your reusable coffee cup! ☕️ let’s battle plastic waste together while enjoying the conference (and coffee)!

Last week, I presented my research on epigenetics in hematopoietic stem cells in the ‘Scientists on Stage’ session at the #VIBseminar2025.

Working with this bunch of lovely enthusiastic constructive colleagues from all over VIB was a great experience! Congrats Pauline Bardet with your award!

Once more, exciting times ahead for young_eha 🌱

It was great to finally meet in person all new members & have time to discuss all the projects.

Specially excited with the kick-off of the mentorship program at the Congress 👏

📢 We have one vacancy, application is open!

My first in-person meeting with the youngEHA committee - lots of discussions to improve our projects targeted at young hematology researchers!

Come meet us on June 14th at the youngEHA research meeting #YERM at the annual EHA congress #EHA2025 in Milan this year!

Happy Polycomb Day (3/27)! Today we celebrate H3K27me3- Polycomb’s quiet mark of repression, where gene silencing is not neglect, but a deliberate act of identity.

We are ready for #EHAReCon25 !

Grace is sharing her exciting findings on the role of Runx2 in hematopoietic stem cells in a talk tomorrow, come talk to her if you want to discuss HSC biology! #EHA

Congrats to everyone and a special shout-out to Adam Wilkinson who did amazing work on HSC biology in the last years and who is an incredible PI - I was lucky to spend time in his lab as a postdoc! @imm.ox.ac.uk
ISEH is thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2025 Society Awards, which will be presented at the ISEH 54th Annual Scientific Meeting. Read more about each award recipient on www.simplyblood.org

So cool to be part of the #TRTH2025 cohort this year - they make us work hard, but I've learned so much this week!

If you're interested in translational research in hematology, I highly recommend applying for this program organised by EHA and ASH!
