The Society for Histochemistry is an international association of scientists which was founded in 1952. Membership of the Society is open to scientists of all countries. The Society organizes annual scientific symposia, sponsors the Robert-Feulgen Lecture and awards the Robert-Feulgen Prize. The activities of the Society are connected with histochemistry and all related fields, especially cell and tissue biology, molecular biology, pathology, anatomy, and
microscopy. The official journal of the Society is Histochemistry and Cell Biology.

10 April 2012 20 days left to submit your abstract! Under the theme of 'Beyond the Limit of Histochemistry', an excellent program was compiled with ten plenary lectures, nineteen symposia, eight workshops, three-journal sponsored lectures, and poster sessions. Besides, Poster Awards for young scientists and for the best picture presentation will be prepared.   Now, abstract submission, registration and hotel reservation for ICHC 2012 are available through website. For details please visit ICHC 2012 website http://www.acplan.jp/ichc2012/. The deadline for abstact submission: April 30, 2012

5 April 2012 The Robert Feulgen Prize 2012 was awarded to Dr. Andreas Römpp from the Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry of the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. The prize has been awarded for substantial improvement of mass spectrometry imaging by combining high mass resolution with spatial resolution in the low micrometer range. This results in an unprecedented quality and reliability of information on chemical content for histological investigation, as demonstrated for a range of organs.

29 March 2012 14th International Congress of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry takes place on 26 - 29 August 2012 in Kyoto. The Congress theme is "Beyond the Limit of Histochemistry". Please note that the deadline for abstract submission is 30 April 2012. ICHC 2012 Second Announcement More information available on ICHC 2012 website.

12 March 2012                     54th Symposium of the Society for Histochemistry                              5 - 8 September 2012, Vienna (Austria)                 Imaging Development, Tracking Cells in Order and Disorder You are cordially invited to attend this year´s symposium of the Society that will take place in Vienna in the first week of September. The meeting will focus on regular and abnormal differentiation of cells, tissues and organ systems as well as on the possibilities of displaying these processes by way of imaging methodologies and tools.

12 March 2012 You may apply for a Robert Feulgen Prize (3000 EUR) that is awarded for an outstanding achievement in the field of histochemistry. All applications should strictly adhere to the rules. Submission deadline is 31 January 2013.

29 February 2012 The Society for Histochemistry nominated Jana Rohožková from the Czech Republic to the "Young Histochemist Award 2012" to attend the ICHC 2012 - 14th International Congress of  Histochemistry and Cytochemistry in Kyoto. The Society decided to grant an additional bursary also to a young scientist at the second place - Sebastian Marwitz from Germany. Both applications were of high quality therefore we believe that participation in ICHC 2012 will broaden their knowledge and help their scientitic careers.
