Join us to pursue cutting-edge research at the interface of megakaryocyte biology and translational medicine. We have NIH-funded postdoc positions available to investigate platelet production and the broader functions of megakaryocytes. I’ll be attending ASH and would be happy to connect.

Q: What scientific session at #ISEH2025 are you looking forward to the most?β€― 
A: β€œI am mostly looking forward to the iPSC-derived Hematopoiesis Symposium – a half-day symposium taking place on Wednesday afternoon that I co-organize. This symposium is now on its 4th year and brings together researchers from the fields of developmental hematopoiesis, disease modeling and cell therapies who share a common interest in using human pluripotent stem cell models.”

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.

My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.

We found 437 of them.
