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 want to
learn what's new, come one, come all and experience an intense week of hard
work and good times in the great state of Maine.
We hold the course on a beautiful college campus with wide green courtyards
and ivy-laden buildings. We start early in the morning and end at night.
You'll receive about 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 you'll learn about all the tricks of DNA histogram
assays, including preparative methods, computer analysis, and
interpretation. There will be a data analysis laboratory where you'll be
able to try out a number of commercially available software packages.
You'll learn more about how flow cytometers work in the "build your own"
laboratory. If your interest is in molecular genetics, you'll enjoy the in
situ hybridization and mRNA detection laboratories. You will also learn
about oncogenes and their detection as well as cytokines and apoptosis; and
if hematologic malignancies are your game, you'll be delighted with the
leukemia/lymphoma laboratory. We even have laboratories on chromosome
analysis and laser-scanning cytometry.
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, the entire cost, including room, board
and tuition, is only $1,200.00! Give us a call or write us for more
information, but don't delay because enrollment is limited.
