First discussion on Bone Marrow Study Group
Jan van den Tweel, Kristin Henry, Demi Anagnostou
EAHP meeting in Bologna, September 21-25. Further discussions were held in Athens in December 1992
The Bone Marrow Study Group was conceived initially from an idea that emerged during a discussion between Demi Anagnostou and Jan van den Tweel, with the aim of exchanging views on bone marrow diagnostic problems and advances with others interested in the field.
An invitation letter, signed by Demi Anagnostou and Jan van den Tweel in Athens in January 1993 was addressed to Kristin Henry, Konrad Muller-Hemerlink, Nina Hurwitz, Jacques Diebold, Bertha Frisch and Stephano Pileri, who formed the first core of the Group.
The Group acquired official status for the first time during the business meeting in Basel , 2001, with election of a committee and president (Vito Franco, Hans Kreipe, Demi Anagnostou)
