A few words about us...
The Club Hématopoïèse et Oncogenèse (CHO) is a collaborative working group affiliated with the French Society of Hematology (SFH). It brings together researchers and clinicians with a shared interest in hematopoiesis and oncogenesis. The CHO scientific focus encompasses normal and pathological hematopoietic development, mechanisms of tumorigenesis—including leukemias and solid tumors—and the biology of stem cells.
As a key platform for advancing research in this domain, the CHO unites scientific actors from across France and internationally. Since its inception, the CHO has played a central role in fostering scientific exchange and collaboration.
Established in 1994*, the CHO organizes its annual meeting each autumn. These meetings feature invited keynote speakers, peer-reviewed oral presentations, and poster sessions, serving as a significant forum for the dissemination of advances in research on hematopoiesis and oncogenesis.
*The first congress was held in Dourdan on 17 and 18 October 1994 (Nouvelle revue française d'hématologie, 1994, 36(5): 389-407).
