The course is moving to a virtual format and will be designed to compensate maximal involvement and learning 

Flow Cytometry has established as a critical technology for academic research and in clinical applications. The technique requires understanding of the basic principles and expertise to set up, perform and analyze results. 

The course programme  includes technical lectures on instrument functioning, seminars on flow cytometry-based research and video tutorials . An integral part of the course will be dedicated to open discussion to address technical aspects and issues raised by participants.  


Topics

  • Basic principle of flow cytometry, sample preparation and analysis
  • Immunophenotyping of cells in normal and pathological conditions in preclinical models and in the clinic
