The last 20 years of TissueGnostics have been full of research, growth, and success! Of course, we could not have achieved everything we have without the support of our TG product users, collaborators, distributors, and the worldwide TissueGnostics teams. For this reason, TG has put together the 2023 Center of Excellence (COE); awards we have created for the purpose of celebrating and acknowledging our most impactful academic partnerships from the last 20 years! More information about this year’s 2023 COE and its awardees is on its way, so stay tuned.

Apart from the COE, we are also currently in collaboration with one of our partners to organize an exciting Satellite-Symposium for our worldwide TG community. Make sure you book your spot to celebrate with us and keep your eyes out for more up-and-coming 2023 announcements! It isn’t every year that you turn 20, so the TG team is looking forward to making 2023 our best year yet, while still continuing to assist you with your tissue cytometry needs.
