Editorial introductions

Current Opinion in Hematology was launched in 1994. It is part of a successful series of review journals whose unique format is designed to provide a systematic and critical assessment of the literature as presented in the many primary journals. The field of hematology is divided into nine sections that are reviewed once a year. Each section is assigned a Section Editor, a leading authority in the area, who identifies the most important topics at that time. Here we are pleased to introduce the Editor and the Section Editor for this issue. EDITOR Hal E. BroxmeyerHal E. BroxmeyerDr Hal E.

Dr Broxmeyer is a former President of the American Society of Hematology (ASH; 2010), former President of the International Society for Experimental Hematology and Stem Cell Research (ISEH, 1990, 1991), former Chairman, and member, Board of Scientific Councilors, National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI/NASA, 1998–2006), and Chairman Emeritus, Board of Directors, National Disease Research Interchange, Philadelphia, PA. Maegan L. CapitanoMaegan L. CapitanoDr Maegan L. Capitano is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine. She earned her B.A. in Biology from St. Mary's Honors College of Maryland in 2004. During her summers in college, she worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the laboratory of Dr Bo Dupont as a laboratory technician where she developed a passion for research. She next went on to earn a M.S. in Natural Science-Oncology in 2006 and her Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology in 2012 at the State University of New York- Roswell Park Cancer Center Division under the mentorship of Dr Elizabeth Repasky where she was given the George Meyer's Award for Proficiency and Academic Excellence in Immunology. She received her post-doctoral training (2012–2016) in the laboratory of Dr Hal E. Broxmeyer at Indiana University School of Medicine focusing on Experimental Hematology. In the fall of 2016, she joined the faculty of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine as an Assistant Research Professor. Dr Capitano has published 22 primary research articles and 6 invited reviews articles/book chapters. In addition to her laboratory research, Dr Capitano served on the Trainee Council for the American Society of Hematology, a committee made up of two Ph.D.s and ten M.D.s that are in the earlier stages of their careers in Hematology. Dr Capitano's research focuses on discovering potential new agents that regulate hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell migration, proliferation, differentiation and survival capacity under normal and stressed conditions.
