Flow Cytometry: Continuation Course

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the course, the participants shall be able to:

• set up FACS analysis instruments and conduct quality controls
• analyse flow cytometry data
• formulate a research question and select relevant method(s) within the area of flow cytometry.

Course Content

The course includes the following elements:

• the theory behind flow cytometry
• applications of flow cytometry within biomedical research
• sources of error, quality assurance, validation of flow cytometry methods
• FACS experiments: planning, implementation and analysis of flow cytometry data.

Course Design

The course comprises theoretical lectures associated with advanced flow cytometry, practical demonstrations, theoretical and practical group work, as well as individual discussion forums and practical exercises regarding specific research questions in which advanced flow cytometry is applied. The results of these exercises are presented to, and discussed by, the course coordinator and course participants.
