Flow Cytometry Course 2019
Flow Cytometry Course 2019
Scientific Organisers: Dr Peter O'Toole, Mr Derek Davies, Dr Stephen Couzens and Dr Karen Hogg
This Flow Cytometry 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.

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.
Course Structure
There are 3 registration options available for the Flow Cytometry Course.
The Full Course - Five Days, Monday 9 September to Friday 13 September
The Basic Course - Two Days, Monday 9 September and Tuesday 10 September
The Advanced Course - Three Days, Wednesday 11 September to Friday 13 September
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
Travel
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 then travelling from Leeds Aiport.
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.
- Monday's evening meal is included for All Full and Basic Course delegates, and will be followed by a walking tour of York
- Tuesday and Wednesday are free evenings
- Thursday's evening meal is included for All Full and Advanced course delegates.
Registration
For the Full and Basic course, registration will take place on Monday morning from 09:00 - 09:30. Registration for Advanced course on Wednesday morning will be 09:00 - 09:15.
Admittance to this event is for registered and authorised attendees. If you have any questions, please contact the RMS contact for this event.
