Just a reminder that the last date to register for the Annual Clinical Flow
Cytometry Course sponsored by the Clinical Cytometry Society is next week-
July 15th. The course is held in Charleston from August 17-19. This course
will offer an intensive review of the most common clinical applications of
flow cytometry with an emphasis on data analysis and interpretation. Image
analysis will be incorporated where appropriate. Topics include diagnosis
of acute leukemia and lymphoproliferative disorders, prognostic markers in
hematopoietic neoplasms, molecular markers of neoplasia, detection of
apoptosis, stem cell enumeration, minimal residual disease detection,
monitoring of immune recovery following bone marrow transplantation, and
cell cycle evaluation of solid tumors. Course material will be covered in
lectures and hands on manipulation of actual patient data. Class sizes
will be kept small (8-15 students) to allow close interaction with faculty
members for an optimal learning experience. A comprehensive course syllabus
will be provided. The course is appropriate for pathologists and medical
technologists with experience in the field of flow cytometry as well as
pathologists, hematologists or oncologists utilizing flow cytometric data
in diagnosis and patient management. Classes will be grouped according to
experience. Tuition is $600 and includes registration, syllabus,
continental breakfasts and luncheons. Registration will be on a first come,
first served basis.Course will be held at the Charleston Place Hotel (phone
number- 803-722-4900 or 800-611-5545) with a room rate of $110.00 for
single or double (regularly $159.00). The course will begin the morning of
Sunday, August 17, 1997 with check in (you will receive course sylabus and
your class schedule at this time) and two lectures. The last session is on
the morning of Tuesday, August 19, 1997. The Clinical Cytometry Society's
12th annual meeting immediately follows the course in Charleston.
