For the sixth consecutive year, Vancouver played host in November to the world’s leading experts in hematology. This year’s Earl W. Davie Symposium, organized by UBC’s Centre for Blood Research, featured two keynote speakers: Charles Esmon of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and David Ginsburg of the University of Michigan, both Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scientists.

Among those who attended was 1992 Nobel Laureate Edwin Fischer, of the University of Washington, who discovered that proteins could be phosphorylated, thereby able to transmit signals.
