Getting started with Flow Cytometry
Date: 28 April 2026 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Language of instruction: English
Understanding how cells behave and interact is fundamental to many areas of life sciences. This introductory course on flow cytometry equips early-stage researchers and technical staff with the essential knowledge to follow the Computational cytometry summer school. Participants will learn how flow cytometers work, key concepts such as fluorescent markers, and common pitfalls to avoid. This course is specifically targeted to scientists who will follow the Computational cytometry summer school and who are new to flow cytometry.
Keywords: basic bioinformatics
Learning objectives:
- “Describe the basic principles of flow cytometry including how cells are detected and analysed”
- “Evaluate the suitability of flow cytometry for specific experimental questions in biomedical research”
- “Identify the key components of a flow cytometer and explain their functions”
- “Recognize common fluorescent markers and classify them based on their spectral properties”
