The preliminary program for The Histochemical Society’s 2012 Annual Meeting is now available. Some of the highlights of the meeting follow.
JHC Editor-in-Chief John Couchman has announced that Richard O. Hynes, the MIT Daniel K. Ludwig Professor for Cancer Research and an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute will give the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry Plenary lecture at the HCS Annual Meeting in 2012. Dr. Hynes’ laboratory,

is interested in understanding the molecular basis of cell adhesion and its involvement in cell behavior including contributions to various human diseases, especially cancer progression, including invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis.
There will be four scientific sessions with seventeen invited oral presentations from academic investigators who are recipients of funds for the National Science Foundation “Innovations in Biological Imaging and Visualization (IBIV)” program.
A new thematic session will debut at our 2012 annual meeting, the “Histochemical Society Past Presidents Session”. As “correlative microscopy” is an emerging theme for the 2012 annual meeting, John M. Robinson, Ohio State Univ., Moise Bendayan, Univ. Montreal, and Eduardo Rosa-Molinar, Univ. Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras will speak as past presidents and as experts in correlative microscopy.
The meeting will be held in conjunction with the HCS Short Course in Immunohistochemistry and Cytochemistry at the Marine Biological Laboratory in WoodsHole, MA.
