One of our Platelet Society members, Dr Amanda Unsworth, is chairing the next Gordon Research Seminar on the Cell Biology of Megakaryocytes & Platelets. The meeting will be held from 23rd – 24th February 2019, just prior to the associated Gordon Research Conference (GRC) (February 24th to March 1st, 2019) at Hotel Galvez, Texas, United States.

The focus of this meeting is to bring together our understanding of the processes involved in the development of the megakaryocyte and platelet cell lineage and how these cells can contribute to health and disease. 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 to diseases involving the megakaryocyte and platelet lineage and new techniques to investigate platelet and megakaryocyte function are all welcome.

The deadline for abstracts to be considered for an oral presentation is November 23, 2018. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. The final deadline for applications for this meeting is January 26, 2019.

Outreach events run by platelet researchers – The Platelet Society

2 months ago

Platelet Society researchers have run two recent outreach events to highlight our work to members of the public.

Skirting Science, University of Bristol:

Ingeborg Hers, Samantha Moore & Gail Born at the University of Bristol took part in Skirting Science;Skirting Science is an award-winning event organised by Soroptimist International, that aims to inspire the next generation of female scientists. They delivered a workshop that provided a hands-on experience of being a research scientist.

BHF Supporters’ Event, University of Birmingham:

Gayle Halford and members of the Birmingham Platelet Group organised an event for regional BHF Supporters; the day kicked off with various talks, then Supporters were taken on laboratory tours, experienced and interacted with two major forms of cardiac assessment – cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and were given the chance to look down microscopes at cells, learn to pipette and play some fun games.
