Thank you Kathy S, Joe and Kathy C for your replies. I will let Afsar know that there is a budding Histology Core Interest Group. He is full of enthusiasm and I am sure will attend you meeting on Tuesday. I would like to connect you with him via email in advance if you are amenable.

Hello,
I hope everyone is having a great week so far! I hope most of you will be in Boston for the annual ABRF meeting this year. We will be having a Histology Core interest group meeting Tues May 9th from 1-2. So anyone who would like chat about these subjects, (ab validation, multiplexing, kits etc) is welcome to drop in. An announcement will be made during the meeting to remind folks and to delineate the room number. See you there!
Kathy

Happy Friday everyone.
There is a core facility member here at MSKCC who is looking to connect / ideally create a network withing ABRF focused on Immunohistochemistry / Immunofluorescence (tissue and cells). In particular, he is interested in networking with respect to:
- Antibody Validation in general / maybe guidelines for the fields
- Multiplexing
- Kits – oh so many kits – strengths and weaknesses
- Troubleshooting
He has 17 yrs experience staining tissue sections in our core sees ABRF as an opportunity to grow more by connecting with like minded people.
He is an ABRF member but we need to resolve login stuff so I posted this in advance.
