I just sent something to the list on this. There will be a course 
perfect for Hematology users this summer at Northwestern. There are 2 
big courses in Flow. The Chicago based course emphasizes the 
technical aspects of the methodology and data analysis . Participants 
will take a hands-on, active role in sample preparation, data 
analysis, discussion of results and assessment of 
problems/limitations of the technology.  The Clinical Flow Cytometry 
course that has been associated with the Clinical Applications of 
Cytometry meeting is oriented towards hematology questions. Data 
analysis and interpretation is covered in small classes (6-15 
student) using lectures and hands on manipulation of actual patient 
data.  Topics include diagnosis of acute leukemia and 
lymphoproliferative disorders, minimal residual disease detection, 
stem cell enumeration, monitoring of immune recovery following bone 
marrow transplantation, platelet testing, molecular markers of 
neoplasia, apoptosis and cell cycle evaluation of solid tumors.  The 
two courses are being combined back to back in Chicago this August 
(there is even a discount if you take both). For further information 
contact Carol Eckenwhiler at clea2@bemail.com ,  Dr. Charles Goolsby, 
e-mail: c-goolsby@nwu.edu , or myself.
