So excited to be speaking at the Opening and State of the Art session at #cyto2026. Honored to have been invited. Looking forward to showcasing how #FlowCytometry is integral to the 🧪study of #HSC and 🩸 production.

Thrilled to share our new publication in Nature. We define an “inflammatory memory” HSC state (HSC‑iM), linking lifelong inflammatory exposure to aging and disease. Grateful to an incredible team and global collaborators! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
