Flow Cytometry Course 2018
Flow Cytometry Course 2018
Scientific Organisers: Dr Peter O'Toole, Mr Derek Davies, Dr Stephen Couzens and Dr Karen Hogg
This course is aimed at both life science and clinical science fields, with the common fundamentals covered on day 1 and 2. The course then splits into life science and clinical orientated modules, from practical demonstrations to lectures highlighting not just the applications, but best practise as well.
The course is constructed as a set of three modules. You can elect to attend the Course from between two to five days, depending on the Modules selected.
The Modules consist of lectures interspersed with sessions in the laboratory. It is anticipated that instruments from three manufacturers will be available for practical work.

Delegate Information
Modules
For Module 1, no prior knowledge of flow cytometry is assumed. It will give you a firm grounding in the basics of flow cytometry. There is also a strong emphasis on practical application and four practical sessions are included.
The later Modules assume that you have some basic knowledge of flow cytometry (which can be obtained by taking Module 1).
Module 2, Clinical Applications, will include practical sessions and lectures on applications including immunophenotyping leukaemias, quality control, applications to transplantation and blood transfusion, apoptosis, AIDS and cytokines.
Module 3, Applications in Cell Biology, will include a study of the DNA histogram and the cell cycle, measuring cell cycle kinetics in cultures and in tumours in vivo, using labelling with bromodeoxyuridine, the measurement of cell cycle related proteins, cytokines, apoptosis (including practical work) microbiology.
Generally the instruments used are BD Canto II and Beckman Coulter FC500.

Venue for the course
The Flow Cytometry Course takes place within the Biology Department of the University of York. The Biology department is situated on Wentworth Way. The full address is Department of Biology, University of York, Wentworth Way, York, YO10 5DD. For more information on the University, please visit the www.york.ac.uk
Venue
If you are flying to the UK, we recommend that you travel to Manchester International Airport and then travel by train to York. This is further, but is more convenient than travelling from Leeds Airport.
York Railway Station is the closest station to the University of York Campus, where the course venue is located. The short taxi ride to the campus should not cost more than £10.
We do not recommend parking on York Campus, unless absolutely necessary, as spaces are very limited due to ongoing building works.
Meals
All buffet lunches, tea / coffee and biscuits are included in your registration fee. The evening meals will be held in the following locations.
- Monday’s evening meal will be at Panda Mami World Buffer followed by a walking tour of York. (All Full and Basic course delegates)
- Tuesday is a free evening
- Wednesday is a free evening
- Thursday’s evening meal will be held at ASK Italian, The Grand Assembly Rooms in York City Centre (All Full and Advanced course delegates).
Registration
For the Full and Basic course registration will be take place on Monday morning from 09.00 – 09.30. Registration for Advanced course on Wednesday morning will be 09.00 - 09.15.
Dietary and Access requirements
