The main theme of this year's meeting is the relationship between genetic
change and altered growth regulation in human cancer, and the
development of cytometric techniques for studying this critical area of
molecular pathology. Because the technical problems of quantifying
intracellular antigens and in-situ hybridiization remain a critical impediment
to progress, a major effort will be made to develop a set of guidelines for
use in clinical laboratories. The problems of analyzing complex data sets
will also be addressed. It is expected that this symposium will serve as a
prelude to the ISAC main off-year meeting on "Molecular Pathology of
Human Cancer", being held at the University of Toronto in June 1997.
Attendance is limited to 70-80 participants. The organisers are particularly
interested in participation by individuals with expertise in the relevant
topics, and by young investigators who feel they would benefit from the
meeting (we hope to be able to sponsor students and post-docs).
On site expenses will be approximately $600 for 5 nights shared room
accomodation plus all meals. There is no registration fee.
For further details please e-mail me your street address or fax number, and
I will send you a copy of the draft program plus the notice that will appear
in the next issue of Cytometry.
