To all:
It's getting to be Spring, and a lovely time in the Northwest. The NW Regional Cytometry meeting is in less than a month away. This year the meeting is March 12 – 14 at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. There's something for everyone: FICCS5 on the computational side, a clinically oriented NWRCM meeting on Saturday, two FloCyte training courses, and, new this year, a cytometry workshop for high school teachers. Reception is Saturday evening. With exception of the FloCyte courses, all events are free – you need only register. Registration for the 2009 NWRCM is sending a note to [hidden email] . Below are a few more details on the meeting as a whole. Hope to see you next month. Thanks.

2:00 Guenther Walther (Stanford University) Automated Multivariate Gating of Flow Cytometry Data
A lack of appropriate data analysis methodology is one of the biggest blocks that prevents flow cytometry from reaching its full potential. I will review some recent advances in developing automatic gating (clustering) methodology, and then introduce two approaches that allow a flexible modeling of cell populations with nonconvex contours. One approach is based on a semi-paramtric mixture model with EM algorithm, the other is purely nonparametric.
2:30 Robert Zigon(Beckman Coulter Inc.) - Data Warehousing Theory and its application to Flow Cytometry Data Management
Date: Friday, March 13, 2009
