Lori Krueger - Candidate for Clinical Councilor

Statement of Goals and Objectives

Throughout my career I have been heavily involved with education and training of students, technologists, and research fellows in North America and Europe. I have been responsible for administering Quality Assurance and Proficiency Testing programs for Clinical Flow Cytometry. I have co-authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters and abstracts and have presented posters and oral presentations at numerous international symposia.

I believe that my strength lies in my abilities as a coordinator and an educator. My experience working in the clinical laboratory, clinical research, basic science laboratory and industry provides a diverse perspective to understanding the needs of each of these groups.

As a candidate for ISAC Clinical Councilor, I wish represent the needs of Flow Cytometry Laboratories to the ISAC council so that the society can best serve it's membership. I believe that education should be accessible to all cytometrists regardless of where they live and will work to create alternative methods (i.e. web based learning) to achieve that end.

I support the goals and objectives of this coalition.

If you vote for me for Clinical Cytometry Councilor, please also vote for J. Paul Robinson for President-elect and for Bob Zucker for Secretary. Together we have carefully considered how we can serve ISAC as an executive team. We have thought through the issues and we think we have good ideas.

Lori Krueger

I have been working in the field of Medical Laboratory Technology since 1981 and Flow Cytometry since 1991. I received an advanced certification (ART) in Immunohematology from the Canadian Society of Medical Laboratory Science in 1990 and a BA in Administrative and Commercial Studies from the University of Western Ontario in 1994. From 1991 through 1997 I worked as a Senior Laboratory Technologist and Technical Specialist in the Special Hematology (Flow Cytometry) Laboratory at the London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario, Canada.

During that time I was actively involved in developing and improving clinical research and routine clinical applications of Flow Cytometry including the ISHAGE protocol for CD34 positive Stem Cell enumeration. I joined Beckman Coulter (Miami, FL) as a Product Specialist performing external product evaluations in 1997. After relocating to New England in 1998, I joined the Center for Platelet Function Studies (CPFS) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA, USA. During my 5 years at the CPFS I continued to develop and enhance flow cytometric assays for studying platelet function including the design and implementation of the laboratory component of several clinical trials. I have recently relocated to San Diego and have rejoined Beckman Coulter as a Senior Applications Scientist for Translational Business Solutions. I continue to develop new assays for immune monitoring using MHC tetramer technology.
