| Cytometry
is a rapidly growing powerful technique
used in basic and clinical research
as well as in diagnostic laboratories.
Cytometry offers great opportunities
to the scientists in translational and
applied research and provides diagnostic
and therapeutic tools to the clinician.
However, cytometry is in its infancy
in India with infrequent attempts to
promote organized training and Knowledge
dissemination. Therefore, there was
a great need for the professionals in
this field to join hands and form common
platform which would facilitate fulfillment
for their objectives. The Cytometry
society (TCS) was borne out of this
realization on September 16, 2005 with
its registered office at Centre for
Cellular & Molecular Biology, Hyderabad,
India. |
