ISEH 2025 | Professor Tao Cheng: Revitalizing Sino-Japanese Hematology Exchange and Exploring the Frontiers of Cell and Gene Therapy

The 54th Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society for Experimental Hematology (ISEH 2025) was held from September 24–27 in Kumamoto, Japan. This prestigious event brought together leading experts from around the world to discuss cutting-edge developments in basic hematology, immunology, stem cell research, and cell and gene therapy. One of the highlights of this year’s meeting was the “Sino-Japanese Joint Symposium on Stem Cells and Cellular Therapy,” co-organized by the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), and Kumamoto University, marking the successful restart of the Sino-Japanese academic exchange mechanism. During the conference, Oncology Frontier – Hematology Frontier invited Professor Tao Cheng of the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital to share his insights on the origins of this joint symposium, the hottest frontiers in the field, and opportunities for young researchers to engage internationally.
