Italian Society of Experimental Hematology / Societa Italiana di Ematologia Sperimentale (SIES)

The need to give more space to research in the biological and experimental aspects of haematological diseases has always been expanding within the Italian Society of Hematology since the early '70s. For this reason the GESSIE (Italian Group of Experimental Hematology of the SIE) was born.

The vigorous development of biological studies in the field of hematology in the late '70s and throughout the' 80s had made this structure insufficient, so as to make it necessary to create a new society, parallel and synergistic to the SIE, with the aim to give more space to the biological and experimental aspects of hematology.

On 7 July 1987, in the presence of the Notary Gaiani in Modena, Giovanni Astaldi, Gian Paolo Bagnara, Maria Antonietta Brunelli, Gianluigi Castoldi, Alfredo Ubaldo Di Prisco, Licia Gaggioli, Riccardo Ghio, Fausto Grignani, Anna Teresa Maiolo, Carlo Mauri, Ulku Ozger Astaldi, Cesare Peschle, Vittorio Rizzoli, Pierluigi Rossi Ferrini, Carlo Sacchetti, Vittorio Silingardi, Antonio Tabilio, Giuseppe Torelli and Umberto Torelli signed the birth certificate of the Italian Society of Experimental Hematology (SIES).
