Invited Speaker
Samson leads the Cytkit project, to provide open-source cytometry hardware and software. Samson has also co-founded the company Astute Devices to sell Cytkit kits, so people can build, tinker with, and get data from their own Cytkit instrument easily and at low cost.
Samson’s main previous achievement in cytometry was Cellular Highways, started in 2016 and acquired by Stemcell Technologies in 2025, whose product Highway1, a sterile and GMP cell sorter, is now in use by many research institutions and cell therapy companies worldwide.
Samson has a research background in biological physics of molecules and cells, and an entrepreneurial background in life science tools. Samson also contributes to the ISAC CYTO Innovation Committee, in particular the “Next Big Things in Cytometry” webinar series.
