National Flow Cytometry Resource Traveling Information BoothAs a part of the dissemination activities of the National Flow Cytometry Resource (NFCR), B-9 Group members have put together a presentation booth about the custom and commercial instrumentation available at the NFCR User Facility as well as the Resource’s current activities in R&D, collaboration, service, training and dissemination. The presentation booth will be taken to scientific meetings across the country—specifically targeting meetings that are not dedicated to cytometry research—in order to solicit new collaborators and users from the more general biomedical research community.
The first foray into this new dissemination activity took place July 8-12, at the 13th International Congress of Radiation Research, held in San Francisco, CA. This was a meeting of ~1300 Ph.D. and M.D. researchers in the fields of radiation science, tumor biology, physics, chemistry and radiation oncology. The NFCR booth was set up in the commercial exhibits section of the meeting and was staffed throughout the event by Claire Sanders (B-9), an NFCR technician, who was available to describe the Resource’s activities, demonstrate the webpage, and answer questions. Sanders and Jim Freyer, NFCR Director and B-9 Group Leader, fielded inquiries and requests from scores of people throughout the four-day meeting, and have identified several new potential areas of collaboration. Future booth presentations are planned at upcoming meetings of the American Association for Cancer Research (~15,000 attendees), the American Association for Cell Biology (~5,000 attendees) and the Biophysical Society meeting (~6,000 attendees).
