Introduction: Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry in
immunology
The marriage between immunology and cytometry is one of the most stable and productive in the recent history of science. A rapid search in PubMed shows that, as of July 2017, using “flow cytometry immunology” as a search term yields more than 68 000 articles, the first of which, interestingly, is not about lymphocytes.

Asia’s Premier Cytometry Conference and
Workshop
CYTO Asia 2017 will be the first major Cytometry meeting in Southeast Asia. It will be held from October 25-27 at the Grand Copthorne Hotel in Singapore and this conference will serve as a showcase of new cytometry-related technologies and applications for scientists and clinicians who are using flow cytometry in Asia and Australasia. CYTO Asia 2017 will be an ideal meeting for those scientists and clinicians who are using flow cytometry to present their latest work, and network with their regional peers.
CYTO Asia 2017 is a joint meeting of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC), the Australasian Cytometry Society (ACS), and the Singaporean Society for Immunology (SgSI). It will be a three-day scientific conference covering both clinical and research based cytometry, and will feature plenary, parallel and poster sessions. A three-day flow cytometry workshop will precede it on October 22-24, 2017. The plenary sessions will include invited speakers presenting the latest advances in the field, while parallel and poster sessions will be chosen from abstract submissions.

Education Delivery Task Force of ISAC has decided to deliver an
educational event with practical wet labs in the Central and
Eastern Europe every year. After a success of the Prague meeting in
April 2016 they will organize
"Warsaw ISAC Cytometry Workshop" in May 12 – 14, 2017.
The course will be organized at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Warsaw, the leading scientific Institution in Poland. It will be intended for 45 cytometrists from Central Europe. Workshop will receive a financial support from ISAC.

Congress of the International Society for Advancement of
Cytometry
The CYTO Congress is developed through the efforts of over 50 members of the Organizing and Planning Committees, including the ISAC Scholars and Shared Resource Lab Emerging Leaders, who propose themes, speakers, and assist with the review of abstracts.
The Congress will include elements for scientists working in all areas of cytometry and at all career stages. Top faculty and leaders in the industry will contribute their time and talent to CYTO Innovation, State of the Art Lectures, Scientific Tutorials, Workshops, Frontiers, and Plenary Sessions featuring cutting edge cytometry technology and applications. The program will also include Parallel Sessions with examples of contemporary cytometry from the research lab to the clinic and Poster Sessions providing an opportunity for discussions between authors and delegates. Additionally, the Congress will include Commercial Exhibits featuring companies displaying hardware, software, and reagents for cytometry research.
The Congress will be held at the Hynes Convention Center, which is conveniently located in the heart of Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood.

Congress of the Iberian Society for
Cytometry
Lisbon will be hosting the XV Congress of the Sociedad Ibérica de Citometria (SIC), in May 2017
The Organizing Committee, along with the SIC board, wish this event to be a time of scientific networking, in which clinicians, basic researchers, and companies could be in close contact. Such interaction will be beneficial for everyone and will certainly help to develop new instruments, software and improve working protocols to move the field of cytometry.
The Organizing Committee has put together a remarkable list of speakers, to cover state-of-the-art technologies, as well as a broad range of clinical and research flow cytometry applications.
You will have plenty of time to expand your contacts and deepen your knowledge on flow cytometry and its advances in the recent years.
The SIC Congress will have:
- Workshops on clinical and research applications of cytometry
- Plenary sessions highlighting the best of Iberian-made and international cytometry
- Parallel sessions with selected oral presentations
- Poster presentations

Flow Cytometry Webinars
27/01/17 09:37 Filed in: Webinars
In this webinar, Dr. Jordi Petriz (The Jose Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute in Barcelona) discusses how flow cytometry can be a key player in investigating cancer stem cells. The ability of normal and tumor stem cells to express transporter molecules that function to exclude anticancer drugs and certain dye molecules can potentially be exploited to identify and isolate cancer stem cells by flow cytometry.
