Providing Equitable and Inclusive Care to Patients with Bone Marrow Failure Conditions
Friday, November 4, 2022
This free virtual symposium will provide updates on the most recent advances in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and clinical management of bone marrow failure diseases, including aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Additionally, the program will address the current gaps in patient care for each of these diseases, such as clinical trial enrollment, reaching diverse patient populations, barriers to care, diagnostic challenges, genetic profiling, long term supportive care, and quality of life issues. Speakers will include representatives of innovative programs focusing on closing inequities and underserved patient populations. The patient voice will also be represented through patient panelists and patient survey responses.
Target Audience: Physicians, Fellows, APPs, NPs, nurses and social workers.

Bone Marrow Failure Disease Scientific Symposium 2022
Register HERE to View on Demand
Listen to Neal Young, MD, and Richard Stone, MD, describe the value of attending the Eighth International Bone Marrow Failure Scientific Symposium on May 19-20, 2022.
This biennial Scientific Symposium is the only international forum focused solely on bone marrow failure diseases. The world’s leading researchers on aplastic anemia, MDS, and PNH to discuss current areas of consensus and controversy, share recent research results, and identify the highest-priority directions for basic and clinical research to advance the field.
The specific aims of this Symposium are to:
• Foster collaborations among basic, clinical, and translational scientists and between scientists studying different diseases to help researchers better understand the diseases, form networks to advance their own research, and identify new approaches to transform findings into treatments
• Increase participants’ understanding of the molecular events that drive these diseases and the responses to treatment required to define at-risk populations and improve current therapies
• Develop recommendations for advancing basic, clinical, and translational research in bone marrow failure diseases
• Provide important opportunities to train and encourage young investigators to pursue a career in bone marrow failure disease research
Symposium Co-Chairs: Richard Stone, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Neal Young, MD, NHLBI
Symposium sessions include:
Thursday, May 19
• Genetics and Genomics of Bone Marrow Failure
• Somatic Mutations in Benign Diseases: AA, PNH, VEXAS Syndrome
• Advances in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
• Transplantation for Bone Marrow Failure
• Non-transplant Therapies for Marrow Failure
Friday, May 20
• MDS and Secondary AML Pathophysiology
• MDS Tools for Prognosis: Regaining Consensus
• Treatments for MDS and Secondary AML
