XXV Congress of ISAC – May 8-12 2010 Seattle (USA)

About CYTO 2010

ISAC is committed to being a leading organization in supporting the engagement of scientific and clinical communities in their exploration of new areas for cytometry in efforts to advance knowledge and improve human health.

The XXV Congress will see the launch in a re-vitalized format for the 2010 and future congresses. The flexible format will allow fresh offerings for delegates, exhibitors and sponsors as we move to yearly meetings and seek links with partnering organizations.

Congresses will now have a new banner name – CYTO – with the new format being launched for Seattle as CYTO 2010. Seattle is an excellent venue and location for CYTO 2010 – the quality and cost-effectiveness of the delegate and exhibitor experiences being important factors.

ISAC aims to keep pace with the speed of academic and commercial developments and to serve the increasing demand for networking within our expanding community – signaled by the very welcome rise in the membership of affiliated societies and the on-going efforts of ISAC to support cytometry in emergent world areas. The new CYTO Congresses will retain successful aspects of previous meetings but offer new features.
