Bio 629 Advanced Course in Flow Cytometry

1 ECTS point

The Bio629 advanced course takes place from 25^th - 28^thAugust 2025  and can be booked by our web form until 15^th of August or until the course is fully booked.

Module based in-depth flow cytometry course on selected applications and techniques. Theoretical lectures will be combined with hands-on sessions on the instruments. Our goal is that participants will acquire conceptional & technical skills allowing them to actively implement these techniques in their experimental routine.

The course is aimed at PhD students / Postdocs / Master students from UZH / USZ / ETH with previous experience in flow cytometry, who are seeking to improve their skills in advanced flow cytometry applications.

Following modules will be run on the Bio 629 course 2025.

1. Imaging Flow Cytometry: Bridging the gap between microscopy and flow cytometry
2. Small particle analysis: Recording of extracellular vesicles with a Nanoanalyzer
3. Spectral Flow Insights: Advancing Your Multi-Color Analysis
4. Data Analysis: Analysis of High-Dimensional Flow Cytometry Data.

These one day modules cover theoretical background as well as data acquisition with the Image Stream X Mark II,  NanoFCM and Aurora instruments. The practical instrument sessions will be accompanied by data analysis sessions with corresponding software like FlowJo, Cytolution, R as well as IDEAS and NF Professional.

Note: If any of the module cannot be run we will offer the High Speed Cell Sorting module from previous courses as an alternative.
