The Society
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. Cytometry science has evolved tremendously globally and India is not far behind. Many professionals in this field of cytometry, both in the clinical arena as well as in the research front, joined hands and formed a common platform which would facilitate fulfilment of the objectives of dissemination of information, education, training and fostering research in the area of cytometry.
The Cytometry Society (TCS) India, was borne out of these efforts on September 16, 2005 with its registered office at Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India.
