The FloCyte courses will be taught by Tim Bushnell, co-Scientific Director of the flow core at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The FICCS meeting has a computational cytometry focus. This is the 3rd year FICCS ([hidden email]) is holding their meeting in conjunction with the NWRCM. The NW Regional Cytometry meeting proper will be Saturday, with this year's meeting having a clinical focus. Speakers, including Maurice O'Gorman, Janine Holden, Steven Kussick, Tony Bakke, and Brian Reid, will discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses of current cytometric approaches in characterizing disease. The full roster is forthcoming. New this year is a cytometry session on Saturday morning for middle and high school teachers, with the goal of inspiring a new generation of cytometrists.
Mark your calendars for March 13-14, 2009.
