Scientific Sections
As the primary forum for member exchange and networking, ASCPT’s Scientific Sections promote interaction among members who share a common field of interest. In doing so, they facilitate scientific growth within that area.
Section Structure
Sections are categorized into two main groups: Tools (or Methods) and Applications. ASCPT members can choose two sections to join.

Section Governance
Each section has a chair and at least one vice-chair. Some sections have more than one vice chair depending on size and composition.
The Coordinating Committee on Scientific Sections (CCSS) coordinates the educational and programmatic activities of ASCPT’s scientific sections. The CCSS is comprised of a chair and vice chair plus 4-5 section chairs. Each section has a liaison on the CCSS.
