Congrats @jancools.bsky.social with the EHA education & mentoring award. This is so well deserved, you made such an incredible difference for my career as a scientist! You are the ultimate example of a great mentor! #EHA2025

Day 1 of my favorite conference of the year #EHA2025 in Milan, very happy to see my #TRTH friends again and almost experienced death by tiramisu. I am so ready for day 2 (the official start of the conference!)

The views do not disappoint! #EHA2025

On my way to #EHA2025 by train 🚆 from Leuven. First stops: Brussels 🇧🇪 and Paris 🇫🇷 - Boarding a direct train to Milan 🇮🇹 soon! It’s slow(er) travel compared to flying, but very comfortable! I’m looking forward to the views from the window while traveling through the alps 🏞️🚠

For everyone going to #EHA2025 in Milan, don’t forget to bring your reusable coffee cup! ☕️ let’s battle plastic waste together while enjoying the conference (and coffee)!

Last week, I presented my research on epigenetics in hematopoietic stem cells in the ‘Scientists on Stage’ session at the #VIBseminar2025. Working with this bunch of lovely enthusiastic constructive colleagues from all over VIB was a great experience! Congrats Pauline Bardet with your award!

We are looking for a new team member! Apply now via ehaweb.org/organization...

Once more, exciting times ahead for young_eha 🌱 It was great to finally meet in person all new members & have time to discuss all the projects. Specially excited with the kick-off of the mentorship program at the Congress 👏 📢 We have one vacancy, application is open!

My first in-person meeting with the youngEHA committee - lots of discussions to improve our projects targeted at young hematology researchers! Come meet us on June 14th at the youngEHA research meeting #YERM at the annual EHA congress #EHA2025 in Milan this year!

Happy Polycomb Day (3/27)! Today we celebrate H3K27me3- Polycomb’s quiet mark of repression, where gene silencing is not neglect, but a deliberate act of identity.

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

Sunny day at #EHAReCon2025, great opportunity for some Belgian interuniversity networking #kuleuven #ugent #ULB

We are ready for #EHAReCon25 ! Grace is sharing her exciting findings on the role of Runx2 in hematopoietic stem cells in a talk tomorrow, come talk to her if you want to discuss HSC biology! #EHA

Congrats to everyone and a special shout-out to Adam Wilkinson who did amazing work on HSC biology in the last years and who is an incredible PI - I was lucky to spend time in his lab as a postdoc! @imm.ox.ac.uk

So cool to be part of the #TRTH2025 cohort this year - they make us work hard, but I've learned so much this week! If you're interested in translational research in hematology, I highly recommend applying for this program organised by EHA and ASH!

This week is already my last week in Oxford @imm.ox.ac.uk, so I got the chance to present my work to everyone in our department! EZH2 is slowly but steady revealing it’s secrets 🙃

Happy to share our new insights in the variant mutations driving high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic #leukemia - always new discoveries when you go to the #single-cell level… @hemasphere-journal.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Happy 600th birthday, @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social 🎂 Proud to be part of your impressive history since 2007!

Nice touch, @hemasphere-journal.bsky.social, giving out reviewer certificates 😍

Happy holidays from the Wilkinson lab members at the #WIMM @imm.ox.ac.uk Christmas party! 🎄 ❤️ live music by the one and only #WIMMposters featuring a certain emeritus professor playing the drums 🎸🎶🥁

Achievement unlocked at our lab’s cosy Christmas party 🎄

I am touched that my colleagues at KU Leuven think of me - while in Oxford - when preparing the props for their Christmas party performance 😍 @vib-ccb.bsky.social
