Dear friends of cytometry,

it is our pleasure to announce the 35th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Cytometry (DGfZ) from September 9th to 12th 2025 in Dresden at the Centre for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD).

With the theme “From Flow Cytometrists, for Flow Cytometrists”, we warmly invite participants from all educational backgrounds and career levels – whether you are a student, an early-career scientist, a senior scientist, or an industry expert – your contributions are all valued. We especially encourage those working in core facilities to join us, as your experiences and insights are essential to the rich, collaborative exchange that makes our society thrive.

Together, we will cover diverse topics ranging from flow cytometry methodologies, data analyses with a spotlight on artificial intelligence, clinical applications of cytometry to novel assays, reagents as well as functional probes. Our this years guest lecture will focus on technology transfer in life science while the poster session, the industry exhibition and social activities will provide numerous opportunities for exchanging ideas and building professional connections. Make sure to also join our exciting tutorials and workshops on September 9th and 10th.

For more details, please have a look at the preliminary scientific program.
