The International Society for Experimental Hematology (ISEH) is a global organization focused on connecting and building a community of experimental hematologists armed with the knowledge needed to advance research, develop novel therapies and diagnostic tools and strengthen the global scientific network.

ISEH is a recognized leader in providing new investigators the support necessary to begin a successful career. ISEH keeps members connected year-round through social media and top-notch scientific content and education.

Historic ISEH Member Achievements:

• First to describe every known in vitro and in vivo assay for hematopoieticstem cells and progenitor cells (in vitro CFU-S, CFU-C, LTC-IC, CAFC assaysand innovative in vivo transplantation assays).

• Developed/redesigned methods for the purification of suchcells from murine and human marrow and blood.

• Groundbreaking discoveries/technologies that memberscontributed to the field:

• Insight into the nature of heterogeneity in pluripotent stems cells.

• A network biology platform to assess quality of engineered cells forpatient transplants and suggested improvements.

• Finding that inflammatory signaling is essential for the emergence ofhematopoietic stem cells.

• Demonstration that hematopoietic malignancies are the result of notonly malfunctioning hematopoietic stem cells but also the niche thatsupports them.
