This year, the Blood Journals Studio will feature five poster walks, as well as opportunities to meet and network with eight editors from our portfolio of journals. It is a perfect opportunity to connect with editors in a more informal setting, find educational opportunities, and learn about the Society's portfolio of journals. The Blood Journals studio is only offered in person.
ASH Poster Walk on Blood Immunology & Cellular Therapy: Advancing Innovations and Translational Insights Hosted by Blood Immunology & Cellular Therapy
Monday, December 9, 2024, 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio
Cellular therapies have revolutionized the treatment landscape of blood disorders, offering novel approaches in immunotherapy and transplantation. This poster walk will provide a crucial platform to discuss cutting-edge research and developments in this area. Focused on themes such as experimental transplantation, adoptive immunotherapy, and clinical outcomes in both allogeneic and autologous settings, this walk will showcase the most exciting findings in the posters featured in this year’s Annual Meeting.
Participants can expect to delve into topics ranging from basic biology and pre-clinical models to acute transplant toxicities and immune reconstitution. By featuring presentations on conditioning regimens, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and disease recurrence, the event aims to foster deep insights and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on current challenges and future directions in cellular therapy and immunodiagnostics, enhancing their ability to translate research discoveries into clinical practice.

ASH Poster Walk on Deciphering the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Niche: From Normal Function to Malignancy Hosted by Blood Neoplasia
Sunday, December 8, 2024, 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are pivotal in the production and lineage determination of blood cells, maintained by an intricate network of interactions within the bone marrow (BM) niche. Disruption of this tightly regulated environment leads to hematopoietic deregulation and the development of hematological malignancies. Recent advances in both in vitro and in vivo techniques have paved the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting hematological malignancies within their microenvironment.
The Poster Walk will showcase the latest high-impact research (featured in the posters) on the HSC niche, highlighting both basic research and clinical implications. It will provide a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, promoting greater understanding and collaboration within the ASH community as well as raising awareness and stimulate interest in this often under-represented but crucial area of hematology.

ASH Poster Walk on Hemostasis and Thrombosis: from Basic Concepts to Clinical Applications Hosted by Blood Vessels, Thrombosis & Hemostasis
Saturday, December 7, 2024, 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio
Over the years, discoveries and innovations in the Hemostasis and Thrombosis field have fueled the development of several new generations of therapeutics. This proposed Poster Walk will feature Hemostasis and Thrombosis research with a specific focus on discoveries of fundamental mechanisms that could form the basis for novel therapies and (pre)clinical studies in which innovative therapies are developed and evaluated.
This walk will highlight the current state-of-the-art specifically focusing on abstracts that feature inventive and groundbreaking research in bleeding disorders, thrombosis, platelet disorders, and associated therapies. The walk aims to inspire (a future generation of) Hemostasis and Thrombosis researchers.

ASH Poster Walk on Improving Access to Cell and Gene Therapies Hosted by Blood Global Hematology
Monday, December 9, 2024, 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio
Novel cell and gene therapies have transformed the care of patients with hematologic disorders. Unfortunately, these life-saving therapies are not accessible to all patients who may benefit from them, both on a local and global scale.
This Poster Walk is meant to raise awareness about the challenges (both locally and internationally) of delivering cell and gene therapies to patients, highlight important research addressing these issues, and enhance discussions related to these topics. To that end the walk will highlight abstracts focusing on national and international disparities in access to cell and gene therapies, as well as abstracts highlighting how to make these therapies more accessible for patients (reducing cost, improving infrastructure, etc.).

ASH Poster Walk on What's New in Complement-Related Diseases? Hosted by Blood Red Cells & Iron
Sunday, December 8, 2024, 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio
Complement-related diseases in relevance to the hematologist traditionally include paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Nevertheless, novel developments have implicated complement activation in a number of disorders that are relevant to hematologists, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA), delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) and other complications of sickle cell disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and HELLP syndrome.
This Poster Walk will feature abstracts on complement activation and inhibition and foster collaborations amongst researchers and physicians looking to identify novel inhibitors and therapeutics in this area.
