In behalf of the flow and imaging community of the Pacific Northwest,
I am pleased to announce and invite you to the 2008 NW Regional
Cytometry Meeting, 'Flow and Imaging for an ~omics era'. The meeting
will be held in Portland on March 13 - 15 in the Old Library at OHSU.
The roster is outstanding, with 18 plenary speakers covering a range
including flow- and image-cytometry, biosensors, and high throughput
screening. The meeting will provide an opportunity to network with
others from both academia and industry, with discussion ranging from
Data and Minimum Information Standards on March 13th, to functional
assays, probes, and flow- and imaging-based high throughput methods on
March 14th and 15th. Instrumentation, as well, will be on demo (see
page 2 of the brochure for a partial listing).
Speakers include J. Paul Robinson, Peter Krutzik, Dorothy Lewis, Ger
van den Engh, Ed Walker, Chris D. Geddes, Alan Waggoner, Bob Murphy,
Bob Zucker, James Jacobberger, Larry Sklar, David Basiji, Mike
Samuels, Iain Johnson, Rick Monsma, Doug Auld, Ghislain Bonamy, and
Michael A. Mancini.
Sponsors include Oregon Hearing Research Center, BD Biosciences,
Beckman Coulter, Invitrogen, PerkinElmer, Amnis Corp., Cytopeia, Dako,
CompuCyte, TTPLabtech, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Accelrys, Accuri
Cytometers, Applied Cytometry Systems, BioLegend, Chi-Square Works,
Cell Signaling Technology, Cytek Development, De Novo Software,
FloCyte Associates, Guava Technologies, iCyt Mission Technology,
IntelliCyt, Miltenyi Biotec, MDS Analytical Technologies, Olympus
Advalytix, Partec, StemCell Technologies, Tree Star, Union Biometrica,
and Verity Software House.
In association with the 2008 NWRCM is a meeting co-hosted by ISAC and
FICCS, 'Data standards and software tools for high throughput
cytometry', which meets from 9am - 4:30pm on March 13. All are welcome
to participate. The FICCS meeting dovetails with the 4:30pm Thursday
NWRCM panel discussion on Minimum Information Standards. A light
reception after 4:30pm offers opportunity for socializing, poster
viewing, and talking with vendors.
Also on March 13 is a FloCyte Regional Training Program course,
"Intracellular Cytometry". Dr. Dorothy Lewis, Professor of Immunology
and Director of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at Baylor College of
Medicine, will be teaching the course. The course covers fixation and
permeabilization, a host of applications including DNA staining,
phosphorylation, GFP, as well as quantitative methods - for more
details, go to
http://www.flocyte.com/FRTP/Intracellular_flow.htm . A
10% discount is offered to 2008 NWRCM registrants. For further
information, or to register for the course, go to the FloCyte
Associates website at
http://www.flocyte.com/FRTP/FRTPHome.htm .
All NWRCM talks are free and open to the public. A $25 registration
fee covers noon lunches on Friday and Saturday, as well as the Friday
evening reception buffet. Registration closes on March 7. The brochure
at
http://www.isac-net.org/media/2008NWRCM.pdf includes a registration
page. The same page can be used to register for the FICCS meeting.
Registration for the FloCyte course is on the FloCyte website. For
