From: Bob Leif To: cyto-inbox Meeting: SPIE BiOS 2002: Advanced Techniques in Analytical Cytology VII (BO23)Session. This is an ISAC affiliated meeting. Dates: 25-31 January 2003 Location: San Jose, California USA Conference Chair: Robert C. Leif, PhD., Newport Instruments Program Committee: Yuval Garini, Applied Spectral Imaging (Israel); Awtar G. Krishan, Univ. of Miami Medical School; James F. Leary, Univ. of Texas Medical Branch/Galveston; Calum E. MacAulay, BC Cancer Agency (Canada); Jeffrey H. Price, Univ. of California/San Diego; Douglas Redelman, Sierra Cytometry; Alexander P. Savitsky, Institute of Biochemistry (Russia); Attila Tarnok, Univ. Leipzig (Germany) The focus of this conference will be on advanced technology for: . Digital microscopy and laser scanning cytometry of fixed specimens; . Flow cytometry; . Cell separation. Both the scientific and engineering communities are invited to submit abstracts. Companies that manufacture components relevant to analytical cytology are invited to have their scientific and/or engineering staff submit technical papers characterizing their work. The suggested topics include, but are not limited to, new developments in the following areas: . multispectral and multiparameter imaging and measurements, including acquisition and analysis methods; . time-based detection systems; . probes, including new dyes; . analytical cytology informatics, including: new algorithms and methods for multiparameter cell analysis, clustering, and data manipulation, as well as software standards; . new methods and technology for cell separation including high-speed sorting and analysis of cells and other biological objects and magnetic-paramagnetic particles; . high throughput cytometry; . new components for analytical cytology instrumentation, including ultraminiature systems; . automated 3D image cytometry including tracking tissue section surfaces, 3D image segmentation, and 3D image fluorometry/densitometry; . new and unusual applications of analytical cytology.

Microfluidics, BioMEMS, and Medical Microsystems; . Genomics, Proteomics, and Related Technologies for Biomedical Applications; . Computational Methods, Miniaturization, Automation, and Processing Technologies in HTS. BiOS 2003 is the premier technical forum for presenting the latest in research and development and for launching new applications and technologies (both clinical and laboratory) important for advancing the field of biomedical optics. BiOS is part of Photonics West, the largest lasers, electro-optics, and imaging event in North America. The SPIE Projected Participation is 15,000 Attendees, 6,200 Exhibition Walk-ins, 3,500 Short Course Attendees, 620 Exhibitors, and 70 Registered Press. The participants gather yearly from over 40 countries. The exhibits contain many of the parts and subsystems required to build analytical cytology and other laboratory instrumentation. BiOS 2003 is also cost effective. There is a tram-line, which permits one to stay at comparatively inexpensive motels; and San Jose is served by multiple airlines including at least one low cost carrier. Plan now to participate! Companies interested in exhibiting at this symposium may contact the Exhibits Department at SPIE headquarters, +1 360/676-3290. Fax: +1 360/647-1445. E-mail: exhibitions@spie.org
