AML MRD is such a new area under evolution requiring updating and handholding. This scientific workshop is intended to provide a guidance document for the performance of AML MRD assay to enhance assay reproducibility across centers in India."Puneet Talwar, Business Director- India/ South Asia, BD Lifesciences- Biosciences added, "This initiative was the need of the hour as many labs are adopting MRD testing or having an interest in starting MRD assays in the near future. The AML-MRD had been identified as one of the more difficult assays to standardize. With the support of our academic partners in this scientific workshop we aim to address the critical challenges related to AML-MRD testing and help labs in standardizing AML MRD testing across the India/ South Asia region."Aligned with its commitment to Flow Cytometry, BD Biosciences in India has established Centers of Excellence in Flow Cytometry through collaborative partnerships with several academic institutes and clinical centers of repute with an aim to develop and jointly organize workshops, seminars and training programs on Flow Cytometry.Flow Cytometry is a process used to sort, separate, and examine microscopic particles, such as cells and chromosomes.
