“NHU 2026 | Advancing Haemostasis Through Science, Collaboration and Innovation
The 15th National Haemostasis Update (NHU) 2026, held on 1–2 August 2026 in Bengaluru, Organised by the Indian Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (IAHAD) brought together clinicians, nurses, physiotherapists, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals from across India with a shared vision of advancing care for people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders.
The conference concluded on an exceptionally proud note, with three outstanding laboratory research studies from our team being awarded the Best Poster Awards:
- A Novel Emicizumab-Compatible Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Rapid Detection of Factor VIII Inhibitors
(Rucha Patil, Sharda Shanbhag, Sweta Kaskar, Moni Singh) - Immunogenetic Basis of Factor VIII Inhibitor Development in Severe Haemophilia A Patients: Integrated Analysis of Immune Cell Profiling, Cytokine Signatures, Immune Gene Polymorphisms & Whole Exome Sequencing (sharda shanbhag, Karishma Vyas, Bipin Kulkarni, Rucha Patil)
- Prenatal Insight into a Rare Dual-Lineage Compound Heterozygous Female Foetus Affected by Haemophilia A(Karishma Vyas, Nikesh Kawankar, Babita Phartyal, Rucha Patil, Bipin Kulkarni, Sharda Shanbhag)
Adding another moment of pride, the Best Oral Presentation Award was for:
