Summer Quarterly Pathology / Immunohistochemistry Conference
Featuring Dr. David L. Rimm

Dr. David L. Rimm, of Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT, will present “Biomarker Discovery by Quantitative and Multiplexed Analysis of Tissue Microarrays” at the Quarterly Pathology/ Immunohistochemistry Conference on Thursday, August 2, 2007. The format of the conference is a social hour commencing at 6:30 p.m. followed by Dr. Rimm’s lecture at 7:30 p.m. A light catered dinner will be served during the social hour.

Dr. Rimm is currently a Professor in the Depart- ment of Pathology at the Yale University School of Medicine, the Director of the Yale Pathology Tissue Services and Tissue Microarray Facility, and the Direc- tor of Medical Studies. He received M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and subsequently completed residency training in pathology at Yale, followed by a cytopathology fellowship at the Medical College of Virginia. Dr. Rimm is board certified in anatomic pathology and cytopathology. He is an author on more than 150 peer-reviewed articles, has been issued 6 patents, and is a scientific founder of HistoRx, a digital pathology company.

Dr. Rimm’s research interests focus on in situ quantitative assessment of tissue biomarkers, including predicting outcomes and response to thera- pies in breast, lung and colon cancer, and melanoma. A subset of his group studies the cell and molecular biology of cell adhesion and growth factor receptors, and a third subset works on spectral-spatial analysis of cytologic specimens.

The Summer Quarterly Conference will be co-sponsored by Dako.
