Did you know astronauts suffer from anemia after being in space? Hematology in space is an intriguing topic, come and learn about it at the #youngEHA session now! Only a few more seats available so hurry up to join us! #EHA2025

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!)

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 🏞️🚠

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!

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!

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

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!

I’m so sorry about what’s happening to scientists in the US right now.. lots of support from me & my furry friends 🐈‍⬛🐈

Last experiment today before I fly back to the UK.

I had a lovely stay in Japan 🇯🇵 I will miss the incredible food, the attentive people and the fantastic public transport 😉

Currently in Tokyo 🇯🇵 visiting the lab of prof Atsushi Iwama to establish new EZH2 collaborations!

Luckily there is also some time for sightseeing, because this is my first time in Asia - Happy (jetlagged) researcher!
