At the East-West Iron Club this year we had an excellent keynote lecture by the Dean of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Mark Gladwin. Mark told us about his path in discovering the relevance and mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension in Sickle Cell Disease!

Starting with a great #erythropoiesis session at the Red Cell Club Meeting #RCC #RedCell

First day of the Combined Red Cell Club and East-West Iron Club 2025 in Baltimore hosted by @iqbalhamzalab.bsky.social #RCC #EWIC

As EWIC chair, I am looking forward to see you all in Baltimore!

Originating as the East Coast Iron Club (ECIC) in New York in 1975, the East-West Iron Club (EWIC) is an annual gathering deeply rooted in the exploration of iron biology and translational research and has now evolved into a nationally recognized event.

The Red Cell Club was created in 1958 to foster the exchange of published and unpublished data on all aspects of erythrocyte biology, from developmental erythropoiesis to diagnosing and treating inherited and acquired erythrocyte disorders (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11358359/)

Save the date and join us!

In my role as EWIC president, I am happy to announce the combined RCC-EWIC Meeting which will be held in Baltimore for the 27th to the 29th October 2025, hosted by @iqbalhamzalab.bsky.social Save the date!

Happy Holidays!!
