Our Mission
CYTO Women seeks to address the involvement of women in ISAC, with encouragement and support, so that women from all constituencies can plan an active role on committees and programs, as well as in leadership positions within ISAC, and across the field of cytometry. This is the first program of ISAC’s expanding inclusion and diversity effort, reaching out to women cytometrists to offer support as we challenge stereotypes, celebrate accomplishments, address conscious and unconscious bias, and support STEM programs for young women.
