Dear colleagues,

Welcome to this online conference, jointly organized by three MDPI hematology journals: Hemato, Hematology Reports, and Thalassemia Reports. Hematology has long been at the forefront of medical innovation, driving breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of blood-related diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. This dynamic field covers cutting-edge research in hematopoiesis, hemostasis, transfusion medicine, and the molecular mechanisms underlying a spectrum of conditions, ranging from anemia to hematological malignancies.

This conference aims to bring together researchers and scholars to discuss a wide range of topics in hematology. We expect the conference to be a highly interactive forum, providing participants with diverse communication opportunities. It will serve as a platform to cover a broad spectrum of subjects and to publish the latest advances in the field of hematology, which have far-reaching impacts on diseases such as anemia, leukemia, and rare blood diseases. For researchers seeking rapid review and publication of their papers, these three journals are excellent choices for readers and authors due to their efficient peer review and revision processes.

Hematology Reports is the official journal of the Society of Hematologic Oncology Italy (SOHO Italy). The Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH) and the Nuclear Medicine Discovery (Nu.Me.D.) are affiliated with Hemato. The journal Thalassemia Reports publishes recommendations and papers submitted by the Thalassemia International Federation. We look forward to early-career scholars in the society presenting their research and exchanging ideas with their esteemed colleagues.

We anticipate that attendees of this conference will share novel and inspiring ideas through short oral presentations on recent developments and discoveries, providing the wider scientific community with the latest research in the field of hematology.
