EHA Research Conference 2027

EHA is proud to announce the fifth edition of the EHA Research Conference (ReCon), titled “RNA Matters: From basic biology to therapeutics in hematology.”

Dates: March 22-25, 2027
Location: St. Paul’s Bay, Malta
Chairs: Mirjam Belderbos, Sandra Blanco, Joseph Borg, Sonia Guil, Eugenio Morelli, Pedro Moura, Panagiotis Ntziachristos, and Juerg Schwaller

 

Overview

EHA ReCon is a great opportunity for researchers from all over the world who are deeply invested in the field of hematology. It aims to advance both basic and translational research.

Attendees will benefit from an intimate but focused setting that fosters in-depth discussions, networking, and collaboration.

Spanning 3 and a half days, this format sets the conference apart from the broader, more clinically-oriented EHA Congress.

Key benefits

  • In-depth learning: Hear about the latest research on the role of RNAs as drivers, therapeutic targets, and biomarkers in hematology.
  • Expert insights: Engage with leading experts and innovators in the field.
  • Networking opportunities: Connect with peers and thought leaders during informal and structured sessions.
  • Active participation: Present your research, participate in discussions, and take the opportunity to collaborate on groundbreaking ideas.
  • Comprehensive program: Enjoy a balanced mix of presentations, poster sessions, workshops on writing and publishing in medical journals, and social activities.

Target audience

This conference is designed for basic or translational researchers with an interest in the role of RNAs as drivers, therapeutic targets, and biomarkers in hematology

Program

The topics that will be covered are:

  • RNA modifications and RNA binding proteins in hematological diseases
  • Altered RNA-biogenesis in hematology
  • lncRNAs and circRNAs: new regulatory functions and biomarker potential
  • RNA therapeutics in hematological diseases
  • RNA and immune and tumor microenvironment modulation
  • Synthetic and AI-based approaches in RNA medicine

EHA ReCon 2027 promises significant advancements in the understanding of non-coding RNAs, RNA modifications, and RNA-binding proteins in hematologic diseases. It will highlight new regulatory mechanisms, targeted therapeutic strategies, and innovative computational research approaches. It will achieve this by bringing together top researchers and early-career investigators through:

  • Invited speaker lectures
  • Oral abstract presentations
  • Poster pitches
  • Poster walks

Learning objectives

After attending this meeting, participants will be able to:

  1. Gain advanced knowledge: A deep dive into various types of RNA mechanisms, therapeutics and research approaches
  2. Get research inspiration: Exposure to cutting-edge research and methodologies
  3. Develop new connections: A broadened network of peers and experts for future collaborations
  4. Implement practical applications: Understanding of how to apply new findings to ongoing research
  5. Harness presentation experience: Opportunities to present research findings and receive feedback from leading experts
