International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC)

The ISAC COVID-19 Workgroup was formed to act as a focal point that brings together scientists from all over the world who are actively engaged or simply interested in the role of cytometry technologies and methodologies in the fight against Coronavirus. Our primary goals are to highlight the role of cytometry in understanding the pathogenesis of diseases and potential therapeutic strategies, facilitate the introduction and interaction of researchers leading to knowledge exchange and collaboration via ISAC’s COVID-19 Interest Group, and provide a portal of relevant resources.
