Beyond Thrombosis and Haemostasis

The focus of this meeting is to bring together our understanding of the processes involved in megakaryocyte development and platelet function, and how these cells can contribute to health and disease beyond haemostasis and thrombosis. Submission of abstracts covering work from a range of topics including but not limited to megakaryocyte lineage development, platelet signalling, the role of platelets in disease and immunity, new therapeutic approaches and new techniques to investigate platelet and megakaryocyte function are all welcome.

Researchers will be encouraged to discuss ongoing challenges and to develop an extensive international network to establish future collaborations between the fields of megakaryocyte and platelet biology. Through a Mentorship Component, this GRS will also provide young investigators with valuable career advice from experts who conduct basic and translational research both within and outside of academia.
