Learn about key high-plex imaging topics.
To support the sharing and expansion of methods of discovery with high-plex Imaging Mass Cytometry™ (IMC™), we invite you to join us at regular IMC Forum events to listen, learn, ask questions and interact with the IMC community..
Suggest a topic! We want to hear from you.
We’re selecting topics for 2023. Let us know what you’d like to hear about in an upcoming forum. Do you have news to share? A question to ask? Just send us an email so we can investigate or brainstorm the possibilities.
Watch the second IMC Forum session in the data analysis series!
Tools and Trailblazers: Data Analysis Strategies and User-Developed Software Approaches
» Thursday, December 8
Get the most out of high-plex imaging.
Each IMC Forum includes a combination of speaker presentations, educational content, interviews, panel discussions and more. We’ll broach some challenges and highlight experiences and considerations to get the most out of high-plex imaging.

Exploration of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is key to understanding the spatial relationships between cells and cell function in cancer pathology.
This IMC Forum started with a conversation about the impact of adding Imaging Mass Cytometry to the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University, which was followed by two presentations on research projects in hepatocellular carcinoma and colon cancer.
In the panel discussion, three expert researchers shared their experiences and insights, then took questions so attendees could learn more about the potential advantages of IMC powered by CyTOF® technology for their research.
