New England Cytometry

The Boston Users Group for Cytometry (BUG) founded September 1994, was renamed the ‘New England Cytometry Users Group’ in November 2005, to reflect the forum’s growth. The New England Cytometry Users Group continues to provide a forum for discussion and debate on topics pertaining to the science of Cytometry. The forum organizes conferences and presentations of specific interest to the New England area clinician, research scientist, laboratory/clinical associates, and students. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the field of Cytometry. Each member's invaluable perspective helps us create an environment rich in diversity. We strive to use this diversity to educate each other to the ever changing face of Cytometry.
