The Francis Crick Institute

This 90 minute Webinar will be a live introduction to Flow Cytometry. We will cover the principal tools needed to run a flow cytometry experiment – the fluorochromes we use and the cytometer. There will be time to ask specific questions and follow-up webinars can be arranged.Any queries please email stp-training@crick.ac.uk

This course will cover the fundamentals of flow cytometry and is aimed at those new to cytometry or who want to expand or consolidate their knowledge. The course can be run as either a whole day or as two half-day sessions to be flexible as possible with attendees schedules. The first session will cover fluorescence and fluorochromes, the workings of a flow cytometer and fluorescence compensation. The second session will look at panel design, sample preparation, running the sample, and data analysis and presentation. At the end of the course delegates will have a greater understanding of the principal tools used in a flow cytometry experiment and an appreciation of the factors that need to be considered to run a successful experiment. The course will be online and interactive with a series of polls and exercises designed to reinforce the learning objectives. Delegates will be sent course materials 24hours before the course.This session will take place on 14 and 15 June from 14:00 - 17:30 both days. Please select 14 June when booking on eventbrite.For any questions please email stp-training@crick.ac.uk

This meeting will bridge stem cell biology and immunology: interaction with epithelia is crucial for shaping lymphoid organs and regulate their functions from early development through to postnatal and adult life. The symposium also aims to define pathways and mechanisms of regeneration that might lead to new therapies. The meeting will bring together internationally-renowned key experts who adopt different but complementary approaches, spanning basic science through to the clinical application of cell therapies.Plenary lectures will be followed by short and flash talks selected from the submitted abstracts to give early career researchers opportunities to present their work.Please use the attached abstract form. Date for final submissions is Friday 20th May 2022.Poster sessions and networking will give attendees ample opportunities to present their work and to interact with scientists working across these disciplines.We plan to run this as a hybrid event with an in person audience at the Crick joined by online attendees.Student tickets are available along with group discounts -50% on tickets for groups of 4 or more - see eventbrite for full details.contact events@crick.ac.uk if you have any questions .
