Come and celebrate the 10th edition of the UK Flow Cytometry Facility Meeting 2027 in York!
This is an annual in-person meeting developed and run by the community for the community. It provides an excellent opportunity to network with fellow facility staff, as well as representatives from major commercial suppliers of microscopy hardware, software and reagents. The meeting will start at lunchtime on Tuesday 5 January and finishing at lunchtime on Wednesday 6 January 2027.
