 Abstract:
Advances in cytometry have enabled routine generation of multi-color flow cytometry experiments designed to measure large numbers of samples across tens of markers.  These experiments generate a large amount (hundreds of megabytes to gigabytes) of raw data and make it difficult to manage, analyze and collaborate with these experiments.
Cytobank is a web-based platform to manage, share and analyze your flow cytometry data from anywhere.  The approach grew out of work in Dr. Garry Nolan’s lab at Stanford to handle large flow experiments, provide various levels of experiment access (from analyzed results to raw data) and enable a platform for novel visualizations and analyses of flow cytometry data.
In this talk, I will give an overview of Cytobank and show examples from ongoing systems biology projects using phospho-flow and mass cytometry.
Cytobank is available to the community at www.cytobank.org<http://www.cytobank.org>
