The INDO-US flow cytometry workshops in India were started by Prof. Awtar Krishan (USA) in collaboration with Dr. Ranbir Sobti (India) and Dr. Arvinder Singh (India) in 2002. These workshops were started with a vision of bringing experts from India, USA and abroad to the same platform, where their expertise can be harnessed by the participants to understand the basics and advanced concepts in flow cytometry and to apply this insight to their biological and clinical research.

These workshops are conducted in collaboration with national institutes all over India. National and International faculties are invited to these workshops to deliver the lectures and conduct wet labs. Funds for these workshops are raised from the technology manufacturers and through government grants, which are used to cover travel, boarding and lodging and other expenses for conducting the workshop and wet labs. These funds are also used for awards and travel grants for selected workshop participants.

Looking at the increasing demand and requirement of these educational programs, INDO-US Workshops committee decided to form and register a formal non-profit Trust, which carries on these educational activities all over India in collaboration with national organizations. We are happy to inform you that this above mentioned trust has been registered as “Trust for Education and Training in Cytometry (TETC)” in 2018, which is officially organizing Virtual 22nd INDO-US Flow Cytometry Workshop from 22nd to 28th Feb 2020.
