About Affymetrix UserForum

The UserForum is an online publication designed to help scientists make the most of their microarray-based research. Building on the efforts of the Affymetrix Microarray Bulletin, UserForum will provide an interactive community where Affymetrix customers can learn about new products and services, explore emerging applications, and share research challenges and success stories.

UserForum will include video interviews, print feature stories, as well as shorter news articles. The editors will also hold a Symposia Series featuring live web talks with Affymetrix scientists, customers, and other researchers. Each session will feature a live question-and-answer session, so listeners can join the discussion.

Stay tuned. We plan to include the UserForum audience in the creation of content, and we hope that you will participate in the continuous improvement of our site. We welcome any thoughts, comments, and suggestions that you may have.
