RMS Flow Cytometry Course
16-20 July 2012
University of York, UK

Organisers: Peter O'Toole, Derek Davies, Stephen Couzens

There are still places left on the Royal Microscopical Society Flow Cytometry
Course.

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.

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.
