Elisabeth Bik

Harbers Bik LLC
Elisabeth Bik, PhD, is a science integrity consultant who specializes in finding image duplications in scientific papers. After receiving her PhD in Microbiology at Utrecht University in The Netherlands, she worked 15 years at the Stanford University School of Medicine on the microbiomes of humans and marine mammals. From 2016-2019, she worked at two microbiome startup companies. In March 2019, she left her job to become a science integrity volunteer and occasional consultant. She has reported over 4,000 papers for issues with image duplication or other concerns. In April 2021 she was awarded the Peter Wildy Prize by the UK Microbiology Society for her contributions in science communication.

Oliver Burton

Division of Immunology, Babraham Institute
I did my doctoral work under Prof. Anne Cooke in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge, researching innate immunity and type 1 diabetes. Afterwards, I joined Dr. Hans Oettgen at Boston Children’s Hospital where I studied food allergy pathogenesis and tolerance induction. Responding to an advert for a flow cytometry specialist, I joined Prof. Adrian Liston’s lab in Leuven and moved with him to the Babraham Institute where I am employed as a staff scientist. My work currently focuses on regulatory T cell biology in the tissues, but I help out with lots of projects including those dealing with neuroimmunology and respiratory infection responses.

Derek Davies Cytometry

Derek is an independent Cytometry consultant offering education and training in all forms of cytometry. He was previously the National Science Technology Platform (STP) Training Lead at the Francis Crick Institute in London where his role was to develop Educational and Training courses to support Biomedical Research in the UK and beyond. He co-organises the section’s annual flow cytometry course at the University of York and is active in promotion of cytometry via focussed meetings and other courses. He is one of the principal organisers of the flowcytometryUK annual meeting. Derek is particularly keen to promote cytometry education within the UK and beyond.

Kevin Ng

Kevin is a PhD student in the Kassiotis Lab at the Francis Crick Institute. His PhD work focuses on adaptive immune responses in human and mouse models of cancer and autoimmunity. More recently, he has been studying antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses, and how conserved viral epitopes can be targeted for vaccine design.

Nicole Poulton

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences
Dr. Nicole Poulton is the Director of the Center for Aquatic Cytometry and a Senior Research Scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences.  Nicole’s main research interests focus on phytoplankton and aquatic microbial ecology, including harmful algal blooms and the role of phytoplankton in the global carbon cycle.  Her research uses aquatic flow and imaging cytometry, single cell sorting and genomics to examine phytoplankton and bacterioplankton in the oceanic environment.   She has over 25 years of flow cytometric experience within the aquatic sciences. Nicole received her PhD in Biological Oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.  Nicole is very active in education and outreach and currently an ISAC Councilor (2020-2024) and a Shared Resource Laboratory Emerging Leader (2017-2021).

Joshua Welsh

Research Fellow
Dr Welsh received his PhD in 2017 at the University of Southampton where his thesis focused on small particle flow cytometry development and standardization in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific. He then joined Jennifer Jones’ MD PhD lab in the Translational Nanobiology Section at the US National Institutes of Health where he is focused on developing EV assays and software for translational medicine, with a particular focus on cancer. Dr Welsh is currently an ISAC Marylou Ingram Scholar, a member the ISEV-ISAC-ISTH EV Flow Cytometry working group, a member-at-large of the ISEV Executive Board, associate editor of Current Protocols in Cytometry, Chair of the ISEV Rigor and Standardisation: EV Reference Material Task Force, and member of ISAC Data Standards Committee.
