The Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Centre of Research Excellence in Bone Marrow Biology invites clinicians, researchers, scientists, allied health professionals and students to join us for the second session of the 2026 Expert Webinar Series.

We are delighted to welcome Associate Professor Marcin Wlodarski from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, USA, and Director of the Bone Marrow Failure and Myelodysplastic Syndromes Program.

In this webinar, Associate Professor Wlodarski will explore the major discoveries that have shaped our understanding of GATA2 deficiency over the past 15 years, including its clinical presentation, natural history and haematological evolution.

The presentation will draw on themes from his recent Haematologica commentary, GATA2 coming of age: 15 years from discovery to symptoms, and on knowledge gained through his mutational registry of more than 1,000 GATA2 cases (stjude.org/GATA2), while also exploring the latest clinical and scientific insights into GATA2 deficiency. He will also discuss findings from his team's recently published study of 218 individuals with germline GATA2 variants, the largest paediatric cohort of GATA2-related myelodysplastic syndromes to date, which provides new insights into age-dependent clinical and molecular evolution.

The session includes a 45-minute presentation and 15-minute Q&A, chaired by Associate Professor Lucy Fox.

Attendance is free. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
