The International Academy of Cytology (IAC) is a scientific global NGO for cytopathologists and cytologists:[1]. The IAC's goals are the advancement of cytopathology and cytology, thus it promotes research, education and collaboration within the field.[2] The IAC is an international umbrella association working together with over 50 national cytology associations, e.g. the American Society of Cytopathology, the Società Italiana di Anatomia Patologica e Citologia Diagnostica,[3] the Academía Mexicana de Citopatológica[4] or the European Federation of Cytology Societies.[5] In collaboration with the WHO, especially the IARC the IAC works on the definition of international nomenclature of tumors.[6]
Founded in 1957 in Brussels by its first president Hans-Klaus Zinser[7] originally as “International Academy of Gynecological Cytology”, the IAC renamed itself “International Academy of Cytology” in 1961 to reflect advances in other fields.[8]
The current president is Professor Fernando Schmitt,[9] Professor of Pathology at the Medical Faculty of University of Porto, Head of Molecular Pathology Unit at IPATIMUP, Director of RISE[10] (Health Research Network).[11]
The IAC issues the cytology journal Acta Cytologica (impact factor 1.8)[12] at the publishing house Karger.[13] The Acta Cytologica was founded by Professor George L. Wied in 1957, the founding year of the IAC.[14] He served as editor-in-chief until 2004.
