Bio 629 Advanced Course in Flow Cytometry

1 ECTS point

The Bio629 advanced course takes place from 18^th - 21^thJanuary 2027  and can be booked by our web form until beginning 4th of January 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 2027.

1. Image Stream Flow Cytometry: Bridging the gap between microscopy and flow cytometry
2. Image enhanced high speed sorting using the FACS Discover S8
3. Spectral Flow Insights: Advancing Your Multi-Color Analysis
4. Data Analysis: Analysis of High-Dimensional Flow Cytometry Data with R, Cytolution, FlowJo

These one day modules cover theoretical background as well as data acquisition with the Image Stream X Mark II,  FACS Discover S8 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 Chorus.

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