Developing Resources for Hematologists

ASH released an array of new and updated resources this year, unified by a drive to expand knowledge and support professionals working in hematology. Whether for clinicians, researchers, educators, or trainees in hematology, ASH provides resources that enhance knowledge and boost professional growth.

Fostering Genomic Data Exploration

The ASH HematOmics Program, launched in 2025, provides access to comprehensive whole genome and transcriptome sequencing datasets to empower hematology researchers and clinicians to explore genomic variants, interpret clinical correlations, and uncover therapeutic targets across blood diseases.

Tackling the Iron Deficiency Challenge

ASH hosted an Iron Deficiency Summit in September 2025, advancing its Iron Deficiency Initiative. Draft ASH guidelines on the diagnosis of iron deficiency were made available for public comment in October. The guidelines and a summit blueprint with calls to action will be published in 2026.

“I am so confident and optimistic about the outcome — how this summit’s going to help our patients. When you bring everybody in the same room, with the support from ASH, it is really a beautiful thing.”

Kelsey Martin, MD

ASH Iron Deficiency Working Group

“The reason it’s important to use guidelines, the reason these guidelines were developed, is to help clinicians provide the best possible care.”

Leslie Raffini, MD, MSCE

ASH VTE Pediatrics Guidelines Panel

It’s absolutely critical that we have rigorous guidelines developed for the treatment of these relatively rare hematologic disorders like acute myeloid leukemia.

Enhancing Engagement and Learning

In 2025, ASH introduced a new way for those interested in hematology to absorb innovative education on social media. The ASH Education social media channels focused on microlearning across three platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. With quizzes and other interactive features—such as #ASHTriviaTuesday and #ASHWomenWednesday — ASH Education often uses a game-like approach to bolster engagement and learning.
