Hello Flowers,
I just received a copy of a book that may be of interest to flow cytometrists
("Biomedical Platforms: Realigning the Normal and the Pathological in
Late-Twentieth-Century Medicine" by Peter Keating and Alberto Cambrosio (2003, MIT
Press)).
It may sound obscure, but it actually uses immunophenotyping as a model for
understanding the technical, social, commercial, and regulatory aspects that affect the
relationship between the laboratory and the clinic. In particular, it uses flow
cytometry as its major example of how laboratory and clinical work have been affected by
technological advances. For the book, the authors have interviewed among others, David
Barnett, Marty Bigos, Raul Braylan, Phil Dean, Mack Fulwyler, Janis Giorgi, Wolfgang
Gohde, David Hedley, George Janossy, Lou Kamentsky, Allan Landay, Frank Mandy, Gerry
Marti, Brian Mayall, Myron Melamed, Howard Shapiro, John Steinkamp, Carleton Stewart,
Marvin Van Dilla and many more of our colleagues.
I've no commercial interest in this book (but it does use a few of the figures from my
book).
