Past Scientific Events
Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision is committed to holding regular scientific and patient events to share knowledge of the latest research in Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and to strengthen our collaborative networks.
2026 CRE Expert Webinar Series on Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes
Webinar 1 – Thursday 5th March 2026
Haematological malignancy development in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome
The Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Bone Marrow Biology presented the first Expert Webinar of the 2026 series for the scientific and clinical community featuring guest speaker, Dr Kasiani Myers.
During this session Dr Kasiani Myers explored the development of haematological malignancies in individuals with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) and highlighted current research and clinical insights in this area.

In vitro haematopoietic stem cell generation technology
On Monday 24th February, 2025, The Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Centre of Research Excellence in Bone Marrow Biology, along with our exclusive sponsor Novartis, was proud to present the fourth Expert Webinar for our scientific community featuring guest speaker, Associate Professor Elizabeth Ng.
Associate Professor Elizabeth Ng is a Group Leader in the Blood Development Laboratory at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), Melbourne, Victoria. A major focus of her work is to generate transplantable haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from human pluripotent stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration, disease modelling and the testing of therapeutic products. Elizabeth will present on “iHSCs: haematopoietic stem cells generated from induced pluripotent stem cells – a potential autologous cell therapy for bone marrow failure syndromes.”

Webinar 2
The Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Centre of Research Excellence in Bone Marrow Biology, along with our exclusive sponsor Novartis, was proud to present the second CRE Expert Webinar on Thursday July 25, 2024 featuring international guest speaker, Professor Alan Warren.
Alan is Professor of Haematology at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. His presentation discussed how new technologies are providing insights into the molecular basis of the ribosomopathy Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), including addressing the following questions:
How does a germline ribosome assembly defect associated with impaired stem cell fitness drive evolution to blood cancer?
Can we harness these insights to improve risk stratification and develop personalised medicine approaches in SDS and inherited marrow failure disorders more generally?
