Originating as the East Coast Iron Club (ECIC) in New York in 1975, the East-West Iron Club (EWIC) is an annual gathering deeply rooted in the exploration of iron biology and translational research and has now evolved into a nationally recognized event.

The Red Cell Club (RCC) was created in 1958 to foster the exchange of published and unpublished data on all aspects of erythrocyte biology, from developmental erythropoiesis to diagnosing and treating inherited and acquired erythrocyte disorders ( https://t.co/NiEoC2lfsT)
