STANDARDS & TECHNOLOGY

There are two main goals of the HCA Standards and Technology Working Group (STWG):

  • To bring together people and their institutes to compare and disseminate existing methods,
    and
  • To ensure that new techniques are developed and adopted. This is achieved by working with academics and technology companies that are eager to help the HCA and to learn from its collective expertise and experiences.

Co-chaired by Holger Heyn, Orit Rozenblatt-Rosen and Xiaowei Zhuang, the STWG meets once a month to discuss topical Standards and Technology issues for the HCA.

To assist the work of the STWG, a Seminar focussing on Technology, took place on March 10th 2022.
