On my way to #EHA2025 by train ๐Ÿš† from Leuven. First stops: Brussels ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช and Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท - Boarding a direct train to Milan ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น soon!
Itโ€™s slow(er) travel compared to flying, but very comfortable! Iโ€™m looking forward to the views from the window while traveling through the alps ๐Ÿž๏ธ๐Ÿš

Last week, I presented my research on epigenetics in hematopoietic stem cells in the โ€˜Scientists on Stageโ€™ 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!

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

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

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!
