Quantitative Imaging Cytometry Symposium

To all NY area flow'ers, and other interested parties,

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is hosting our annual symposium on
Quantitative Imaging Cytometry, to be held in the Woodbury Auditorium on
the CSHL Woodbury campus, on Tuesday, February 20. 

The presentations include:
*	"Cellular Life as a Biochemical Finite State Machine:
Implications for Cell Based Assays" - James Jacobberger, PhD, Professor
of Oncology, Associate Director for Shared Resources, Director Cytometry
Core, Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cleveland OH "Activation of ATM
and phosphorylation of H2AX reporters of DNA damage" - Zbigniew
Darzynkiewicz. MD, PhD, Brander Cancer Research Institute, New York
Medical College, Valhalla, NY
"An introduction to Laser Scanning Cytometry:  Individuals Cells and
Whole Tissues"	(LSC technology and applications update, with focus on
apoptosis and tissue analysis)
William Telford, PhD, Core Flow Cytometry, NIH/NCI, Bethesda, MD
*	"Pharmacodynamic monitoring of molecular cancer therapeutics at
the preclinical and early clinical stages of development" - David W
Hedley, MD, Dept. of Medical Oncology and Hematology, Division of
Experimental Therapeutics, Princess Margaret Hospital/Ontario Cancer
Institute, University of Toronto
*	"An automated method to monitor skin mast cells by Laser
Scanning Cytometry"  Gloria Juan, Sr. Scientist, Clinical Immunology,
Amgen
*	"LSC analysis of tissue microarrays:  Application to subcellular
localization of p27 and prostate cancer recurrence" - Peter Gann, MD,
ScD, Department of Pathology, College of Medicine, University of
Illinois at Chicago
"Quantitative Imaging Cytometry:  Technology to support the new role of
pathology in the era of specific targeted therapies"- William Geddie,
MD, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, University of
Toronto*	

We will also offer an iCys(r) Research Imaging Cytometer hands-on clinic
where we will make our Flow Cytometry Core instrument available for
demonstration by CompuCyte scientists, who will also accept samples for
evaluation on the instrument. This session will be held the following
day, February 21, at the Flow Cytometry Core Facility in the Hershey
Building on the Cold Spring Harbor Campus. All scientists interested in
evaluating their samples must make prior arrangements with the
organizers.

A more detailed agenda and registration materials are available at
www.compucyte.com. Registration for the conference is free of charge,
but is necessary if you wish to have lunch. You obtain more information
by contacting Pam Moody at moody@cshl.edu.

Thanks and I hope to see you there.
