Registration has now closed for this event.
The organisers decided to postpone the event to Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 January 2023 due to the rail strike.
This year the annual Flow Cytometry Facilities meeting is back to an in-person event! As in previous years, the meeting is aimed at all those that run or work in a Flow Facility and seeks to address common issues within the community. We will focus on technology as well as the operational aspects of a flow facility as well as hearing from Funding bodies and relevant Societies. We will include presentations from current core facilities (Crib talks) and also from our industry colleagues (Technobites). The meeting will be run over two days from lunchtime to lunchtime (30 and 31 January 2023). There will be ample time in the programme for discussion and questions from the community.
Scientific Organisers
Derek Davies
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.
Yasmin Haque
Yasmin is an experienced immunologist and has managed the flow cytometry facility at King's College London since 2015. The facility specialises in the provision of services in the academic and translational clinical research arena. Yasmin is passionate about providing high quality technical support to researchers and collaborate with multiple stakeholders from leading pharmaceutical companies. She is currently involved in the immuno-phenotyping of cells from clinical trial patients and various surgical tissues.
Peter O'Toole
Peter heads the Imaging and Cytometry Labs within the Technology Facility at the University of York which includes an array of confocal microscopes, flow cytometers and electron microscopes. Peter gained his PhD in the Cell Biophysics Laboratory at the University of Essex and has been involved in many aspects of fluorescence imaging. Research is currently focused on both technology and method development of novel probes and imaging modalities.
Peter has ongoing collaborations with many leading microscopy and cytometry companies and his group also provides research support to many academics and commercial organisations. Peter is also heavily involved with teaching microscopy and flow cytometry which includes organising and teaching on both the RMS Light Microscopy Summer School and the RMS Practical Flow Cytometry courses.
