We are delighted to invite you to join the next Platelet Society meeting that will be held in Reading from the 9th – 11th September 2026.
This meeting will bring together senior and junior scientists in an informal atmosphere to discuss the latest research covering a broad range of topics in platelet and megakaryocyte biology, from basic science to recent advances in clinical studies. We have an exciting programme that features key leaders in our field to give plenary presentations, the Gustav Born Award and Alison Goodall Award recipient lectures, and there will be the opportunity for all delegates to present their work in a friendly and relaxed environment.
The sun will be shining on our beautiful parkland campus, which you will be able to explore and enjoy. So we hope to see you at the University of Reading, in our centenary year, where you can meet old friends, make new ones, and help to further strengthen our fantastic platelet community.
