One Day IHC Forum


Registration for the NSH One Day Immunohistochemistry Forum for Histotechs is now open. The event developed with Dr. Richard Cartun and other experts in the field is scheduled for July 17, 2010 at the Bahi Mar Resort in Ft. Lauderdale. The event will cover basic and advanced topics in the field of immunohistochemistry including biomarkers in breast cancer, applications of IHC to cytology specimens, kappa and lambda detection, mismatch repair staining for microsatellite instability analysis, and infectious disease detection.
