Q: What scientific session at #ISEH2025 are you looking forward to the most? 
A: “I 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.”
