We warmly congratulate Dr Anne Largeot on winning the Best Poster Award at the XXI Wilsede “Modern Trends in Human Leukemia and Cancer” meeting, held in June. This specialised conference takes place in Germany and scientists present the most recent and exciting developments in the field of leukaemia and cancer biology – from basic science to new clinical concepts. Talks were given by leading specialists in the fields of stem cell and cancer biology.

Anne is a postdoctoral fellow based in the Stem Cell Biology group led by Dr Georges Lacaud. She was awarded Best Poster for her outstanding work on the "Requirement and function of MOZ in normal haematopoiesis and leukaemia”. She also holds a prestigious Marie-Curie-Sklodowska Action Individual Fellowship, which part funded this work, alongside support from Cancer Research UK.

On receiving this prize, Anne observed that it is highly motivating that her work is recognised by the peers in her field.
