Come Join Us! The annual research course will provide you with state-of-the-art information on important cutting-edge topics in cytometry. Nationally recognized instructors organize hands-on laboratories and present related lectures. If you're interested in learning about cytometry or just seeing what's new, come on and experience an intense week of hard work and good times in the great state of Maine. We hold the course on the beautiful Bowdoin College campus with wide green courtyards and ivy-covered buildings. You'll receive 20+ hours of lectures and 24+ hours of hands-on laboratories. All the instructors love to teach and their enthusiasm about this technology is definitely infectious. In the laboratories and lectures you'll learn about such topics as quantitative cytometry, cell activation, chromosome analysis, platelets, DNA content, cell tracking, apoptosis, intracellular cytokines, MDR, FISH, green fluorescence protein, multicolor immunophenotyping and compensation, computer analysis and, the inner workings of the flow cytometer and much, much more. We also have a brand new laboratory just on advanced sorting techniques. Add to all this activity a special guest lecturer, a traditional Maine lobsterbake, and some good old Yankee "humah" and you're close to describing the course. If you stay on campus in our new dormitories, the entire cost, including room, board and tuition, is only $1,500.00! Give us a call or write us for more information, but don't delay because enrollment is limited. Whether you are a beginner or just need a tune up, come visit us in Maine. We guarantee you will be immersed in this wonderful technology for a week and will be full of new ideas when you return.
