CSMLS Virtual Events
Keeping you up-to-date and connected to your profession.
CSMLS Virtual events are interactive, connecting people sharing an online environment at a specific date and time, rather than meeting in a physical location.
You’ll get all the valuable education from subject matter experts and connect with like-minded people from the comfort of your own home or lab, without the added cost of travel and accommodations.
All past Virtual Events are available as on-demand webinars in the CSMLS Learning Centre.
Note: On-demand webinars are available in English only.

Introduction to Hemophilia
May 15 | 12 PM - 1 PM (ET)
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by insufficient clotting factor in the blood. The level of severity depends on the amount of clotting factor missing. People with hemophilia often experience prolonged bleeding and for those with severe hemophilia, this can lead to permanent joint damage and life-threatening hemorrhages. The standard treatment for people with hemophilia involves management of acute bleeding and prophylaxis, the regular administration of clotting factor concentrates, to prevent bleeds. New and emerging therapies such as monoclonal antibodies and gene therapy are giving hope to those living with hemophilia.
At the end of this session, you will understand:
- Describe the types and symptoms of hemophilia
- Outline the diagnosis and common treatments for hemophilia
- Discuss emerging therapies and implications for the lab of tomorrow
Speaker : Alysa Rossman, BSc
