ANNUAL COURSE IN FLOW CYTOMETRY

Los Alamos, New Mexico, June 11-17, 2005 Organized by the Los Alamos National Flow Cytometry Resource (NFCR) and Verity Software House

Course Description: A methods course in flow cytometry will be offered with special emphasis on applications in cell biology and immunology. The faculty consists of distinguished members of the flow cytometry community. This course will be aimed toward individuals with several years of experience in flow cytometry; very little basic material will be presented. Lecture subjects will include:

immunology,
cell biology,
chromosome analysis,
cytochemistry,
multivariate data analysis,
fluorescence probes,
single cell nucleic acid analysis,
intracellular antigen quantification,
special applications,
and new technologies.

Laboratory sessions will address sample preparation, instrument construction, data collection and analysis, and typical problems encountered in flow cytometry. Each participant will receive lecture and laboratory materials. In addition, if there is enough interest, instrumentation laboratory sessions on phase sensitive/fluorescence life time measurements, DNA fragment sizing, sorting/rare event analysis, and kinetic cytometry will be offered.

The course tuition is $1,500 US. The special lecture will be given by Larry Sklar. The faculty includes:
