EHA attends the EuNet-INNOCHRON Final Conference
The EuNet-INNOCHRON Final Conference, a significant event in the field of hematology, took place in Chania, Crete, Greece from April 4-6, 2024. This conference marked the end of the COST Action CA18233 EuNet-INNOCHRON, a network dedicated to the innovative diagnosis and treatment of chronic neutropenias.
A highlight of the conference was the joint session with the European Hematology Association on April 4, 2024. The session featured presentations from key figures in the field. Antonio Almeida, current EHA President, represented the EHA Community, while Carlo Dufour discussed the interaction of EuNet-INNOCHRON with EHA's Specialized Working Group (SWG) on Granulocytes and Constitutional Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.
Francesca Fioredda presented the EHA-EuNet-INNOCHRON Guidelines on Neutropenias, a significant contribution to the field that has been recently published. The session also included a discussion on the potential of studying neutropenias with flow cytometry, led by Francesco Buccisano, the Chair of the EHA SWG on Diagnosis in Hematological Diseases.
The conference served as a platform for sharing research findings, discussing new questions that have arisen in the field, and exploring prospects for continuing collaboration among researchers. It was a significant step forward in the ongoing efforts to improve the diagnosis and treatment of chronic neutropenias.
