5th Midwest Blood Group Meeting, April 26-27, 2007, Embassy Suites Hotel, Cincinnati Ohio
On behalf of the co-organizers, the Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation's Division of Experimental Hematology and Cincinnati Hoxworth Blood Center, we invite you to participate in the 5th Midwest Blood Group Meeting
Dear Colleagues,
New discoveries are continuously challenging the area of benign and malignant hematology. Investigators from the Midwest region are again welcome to submit their research in exciting areas like stem cell biology and transplantation, cell/gene therapy, leukemogenesis and immunotherapy.
Since 2003, this regional meeting has been organized with the intention to create a forum where investigators and their groups can meet and share ideas an data. This meeting has been especially well attended by post-docs and students. The previous meetings have been held in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Lexington and were highly successful. In 2007, we will return to Cincinnati.
There will be two outstanding keynote speakers: Drs. Harvey Lodish (Massachussetss Institute of Technology) and Michael Caligiuri (Ohio State University) will present their latest data on their respective research fields.
As in previous years, we are soliciting abstracts and inviting oral and poster presentations. Please download the pdf instructions for submission of abstracts. We are now accepting registration and lodging information is provided as well. Please download the registration forms and the details regarding hotel information.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Cincinnati, the Queen City. If you need to speak with someone directly, please contact Keisha Steward at 513-636-1060 or Keisha.Steward@cchmc.org.
Sincerely,
Midwest Blood Club Organizing Committee
