Heidelberg Cytometry Symposium, 22-24 October 1992.
Lectures and presentations at the 1992 Heidelberg Cytometry Symposium reflected a rapidly growing research field with widespread activities that cover daily routine diagnosis as well as investigations at the molecular level and the diagnosis of genetic alterations. Both flow and image cytometry and their impact on quantitative cytology were backed and combined with new approaches (i.e. magnetic cell sorting) that enable the isolation of rare cells with high purity for cell biological analyses and thus pave the way for new research fields (i.e. arteriosclerosis). Their combination with the multicolor painting of gene sequences (fluorescent in situ hybridization) represents a further improvement of chromosome quantification and thus the analysis of the topology of cell nuclei. This year's meeting will be held from 21 to 23 October. Its topics will comprise chromosome painting, apoptosis, automated cytology, bio-imaging and proliferation. As usual, space is given to the presentation of new techniques and concepts. The deadline for abstracts is 30 June.
