Bio 629 Advanced Course in Flow Cytometry

1 ECTS point

The advanced course25^th - 28^thAugust 2025  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.

The modules are not yet fully defined and will be published at a later time point.

1. Imaging Flow Cytometry: Bridging the gap between microscopy and flow cytometry
2. Flow Cytometry in Microbes: tips and tricks for analyzing bacteria
3. Small particle analysis: Recording of extracellular vesicles with a Nanoanalyzer
4. Data Analysis with R: an introduction.

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

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