In this advanced course, trainees are introduced to the underlying principles behind the use of flow cytometry in advanced therapies research/manufacture. Learning achieved by lectures, classroom activities and hands-on laboratory sessions.
At the end of this course, trainees will develop both a theoretical and practical understanding of:
Flow cytometry fundamentals
Fluorescence compensation
Protein detection and quantification
Cell sorting
Includes VR taining experience and digital knowledge assessment and feedback platform.
Learning outcomes:
Enhance knowledge: Gain an introduction to standard procedures, their underlying principles and how these procedures are applied within the field of advanced therapy research, development, and manufacturing.
Prepare for industry: Upon completion, you have a deep understanding and experience of state-of-the-art flow cytometry techniques and methodologies and appreciate the current and future challenges in applying this technology to advanced therapies biomanufacturing.
Access to cutting-edge facilities: Learn in our National Horizons Centre featuring cutting-edge equipment including a Beckman Coulter Moflo Astrios EQ Cell Sorter for cell analysis and cell sorting plus a Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX cytometer within a regulated environment due to its 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for scientists new to flow cytometry and cell sorting, those interested in widening their knowledge about design, optimisation, and troubleshooting of flow cytometry processes, and R&D scientists who want to review the basics of flow cytometry and cell sorting.
