The goal of this concept display is to advance the scientific discussion on the potential of cytomics in basic as well as in clinical research with regard to predictive medicine, biomolecular diagnostics and consensus development at an interdisciplinary level.
- Disease related processes can be determined at the cellular level by cytometric methods since diseases are caused by molecular changes in cellular systems or organs. This permits disease detection (diagnosis) as well as the prediction on future disease progression in individual patients.
- Clinical cytometry addresses frequently immunological and hematological issues by cellular immunophenotyping as major methodology e.g. in leukemia classification, hematopoietic stem cell or kidney transplantation and HIV infection monitoring.
- Multiparameter measurements of cell functions in conjunction with antibody binding and DNA determinations are important for the detection and follow-up of fast developing clinical processes like infectious, allergic, thrombotic or rheumatoid affections as well as for the control of therapy.

   internal link Data Pattern Classification versus Modelling
      = Low complexity: Modelling for data reduction
          (mean volume, coefficient of variation (CV), % frequency
          of erythrocyte populations)
      - erythrocyte volume populations (1-param Gaussians)
         analytical (3, 2, 1)
         preparative (6, 5, 4)
      - erythrocyte volume populations (2-param Gaussians)
         analytical (7)
      = High complexity: Data pattern classification
         (standardized 5-15 parameter disease & patient classification masks)
