On the 9th April 2025, Only Cells hosted another successful Webinar titled “Haemoglobinopathies – the small details that make a big difference”. After introductory remarks from Anas Nasir, the session was led by Daniel Monteiro, Principal Biomedical Scientist at the Specialist Red Cell Centre, Synnovis, London.

Daniel’s deep expertise lies in haemoglobinopathy screening and diagnosis, utilising both protein and genetic testing methods. For the past decade, Daniel has passionately shared his knowledge with students, biomedical scientists, and clinical staff. Adding to his impressive credentials, Daniel has recently joined the NHS Sickle and Thalassaemia Screening Programme as a scientific advisor.

Daniel started by giving an introduction to haemoglobin sysnthesis, and then the pathophysiology of haemgoblinopathies. He also spoke about the various screening techniques available before diving into six interactive case studies.
