EHA-SWG Scientific Workshop on From Aging Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Age-related Diseases: Opportunities for Intervention

EHA-SWG Scientific Workshop on From Aging Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Age-related Diseases: Opportunities for Intervention is organized by European Hematology Association (EHA) and will be held from Nov 13 - 15, 2025 at H10 Marina Barcelona hotel, Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Description:
The program will join basic research on understanding HSC biology and aging process to the care of hematologic disorders in the elderly and in individuals at risk of aging-related disorders. 

Key Topics will Include: 

• Advances in understanding HSC aging, senescence, and clonal hematopoiesis
• Biomarkers of aging and disease progression, including clocks for predicting aging and longevity
• The impact of immunosenescence and inflammaging on clonal outgrowth, aging and disease
• Cellular senescence and the impact of senolytics to eliminate senescent cells
• Strategies for identifying at-risk individuals and developing preventive therapies 

Learning objectives:
After attending this workshop, participants will be able to: 

• Gain insights into how hematopoietic cells and the bone marrow
• Understand how microenvironment change with age, and how these changes contribute to aging and age-related diseases
• Understand the pathophysiology of hematologic disorders in the elderly
• Discuss the last experimental models used to study aging of the hematopoietic system
• Understand the challenge of identifying individuals at highest risk of age-related hematologic disorders, and the strategies to mitigate this risk
• Identify the barriers for clinical data generation in the aging population
