ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition

ASH Poster Walks

ASH Annual Meeting Poster Walks highlight cutting-edge emerging science in hematology during the meeting. A total of seven “walks” will be featured during the meeting with some taking place virtually and others taking place in person in collaboration with the Blood Journal Studio. In general, both the virtual and in-person Poster Walks can contain up to six posters and are designed to include a brief overview of the selected abstracts, followed by an interactive question-and-answer period between the session organizers, abstract authors, and audience.

ASH Poster Walk on Hemostasis and Thrombosis: from Basic Concepts to Clinical Applications Hosted by Blood Vessels, Thrombosis & Hemostasis (For In-person Participants)


Saturday, December 7, 2024, 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio

Over the years, discoveries and innovations in the Hemostasis and Thrombosis field have fueled the development of several new generations of therapeutics. This proposed Poster Walk will feature Hemostasis and Thrombosis research with a specific focus on discoveries of fundamental mechanisms that could form the basis for novel therapies and (pre)clinical studies in which innovative therapies are developed and evaluated. 

This walk will highlight the current state-of-the-art specifically focusing on abstracts that feature inventive and groundbreaking research in bleeding disorders, thrombosis, platelet disorders, and associated therapies. The walk aims to inspire (a future generation of) Hemostasis and Thrombosis researchers. 

Join us in the Blood Studio located in the main Poster Hall for this in-person poster walk hosted by ASH’s Blood Vessels, Thrombosis & Hemostasis journal.

ASH Poster Walk on Deciphering the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Niche: From Normal Function to Malignancy Hosted by Blood Neoplasia (For In-person Participants)


Sunday, December 8, 2024, 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are pivotal in the production and lineage determination of blood cells, maintained by an intricate network of interactions within the bone marrow (BM) niche. Disruption of this tightly regulated environment leads to hematopoietic deregulation and the development of hematological malignancies. Recent advances in both in vitro and in vivo techniques have paved the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting hematological malignancies within their microenvironment. 

The Poster Walk will showcase the latest high-impact research (featured in the posters) on the HSC niche, highlighting both basic research and clinical implications. It will provide a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, promoting greater understanding and collaboration within the ASH community as well as raising awareness and stimulate interest in this often under-represented but crucial area of hematology.

ASH Poster Walk on What's New in Complement-Related Diseases? Hosted by Blood Red Cells & Iron (For In-person Participants)


Sunday, December 8, 2024, 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio

Complement-related diseases in relevance to the hematologist traditionally include paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Nevertheless, novel developments have implicated complement activation in a number of disorders that are relevant to hematologists, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA), delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) and other complications of sickle cell disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and HELLP syndrome. 

This Poster Walk will feature abstracts on complement activation and inhibition and foster collaborations amongst researchers and physicians looking to identify novel inhibitors and therapeutics in this area.

ASH Poster Walk on Blood Immunology & Cellular Therapy: Advancing Innovations and Translational Insights Hosted by Blood Immunology & Cellular Therapy (For In-person Participants)


Monday, December 9, 2024, 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio

Cellular therapies have revolutionized the treatment landscape of blood disorders, offering novel approaches in immunotherapy and transplantation. This poster walk will provide a crucial platform to discuss cutting-edge research and developments in this area. Focused on themes such as experimental transplantation, adoptive immunotherapy, and clinical outcomes in both allogeneic and autologous settings, this walk will showcase the most exciting findings in the posters featured in this year’s Annual Meeting. 

Participants can expect to delve into topics ranging from basic biology and pre-clinical models to acute transplant toxicities and immune reconstitution. By featuring presentations on conditioning regimens, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and disease recurrence, the event aims to foster deep insights and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on current challenges and future directions in cellular therapy and immunodiagnostics, enhancing their ability to translate research discoveries into clinical practice.

ASH Poster Walk on Improving Access to Cell and Gene Therapies Hosted by Blood Global Hematology (For In-person Participants)


Monday, December 9, 2024, 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
San Diego Convention Center, Halls G-H - Blood Journals Studio

Novel cell and gene therapies have transformed the care of patients with hematologic disorders. Unfortunately, these life-saving therapies are not accessible to all patients who may benefit from them, both on a local and global scale.

This Poster Walk is meant to raise awareness about the challenges (both locally and internationally) of delivering cell and gene therapies to patients, highlight important research addressing these issues, and enhance discussions related to these topics. To that end the walk will highlight abstracts focusing on national and international disparities in access to cell and gene therapies, as well as abstracts highlighting how to make these therapies more accessible for patients (reducing cost, improving infrastructure, etc.).

ASH Poster Walk on Hello, World! A Walk Through The Artificial Intelligence Network


Wednesday, December 11, 2024, 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Virtual Program

With the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in research and healthcare, and the growing number of AI related abstracts submitted to the ASH Annual Meeting, there is increasing interest in learning about this field.

This Poster Walk will feature abstracts highlighting the application of AI in hematology science, discussing the topic at an elementary level and highlight some of the key contributions.

ASH Poster Walk on Health Equity in Hematology


Wednesday, December 11, 2024, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Virtual Program

This Poster Walk will highlight works that investigate structural barriers impacting provision of care across hematology for patients from underserved racial/ ethnic groups, those of lower socio-economic status, and other vulnerable groups. In particular, the walk will spotlight research (featured in the posters) that advances efforts to diversify patient populations, mitigate barriers to care, and maximize the equitable provision of optimal care for patients from vulnerable populations. The walk will also feature posters outlining work being done to make our field more inclusive for patients, donors, and caregivers, as well as for practitioners across the hematology workforce. It will serve to connect stakeholders in health equity in hematology and facilitate discussions on the state of health equity research in the field. 

Join us for this virtual Poster Walk session.
