...forwarded for your information; it's short notice (I've only just received the email), but it should be very interesting for many microscope users - FACS and microscopy in combination are extremely powerful!

Imperial core flow cytometry facility staff are pleased to offer this intensive, two day educational course in the varied techniques using flow cytometry.

The course will initially cover basic flow cytometry but then rapidly move on to the more advanced applications providing you with vital information on important cutting-edge topics in spectral overlap and compensation issues in flow cytometry, staining and sample prep, calibration issues, as well as covering Imagestream technology and its applications, as well covering various multi-plexing techniques.

These will also include cell cycle, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and fluorescent proteins and FRET and covering topics such as looking for immune patterns in MS.

Please check our programme for confirmed speakers and talks.
(http://www1.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/respiratory/respinfect/flow/imperial_flow_course_2012/)

The course has been designed to allow the participant to gain experience of what a flow cytometer is capable of as well as to raise awareness of the problems that can be encountered when setting up polychromatic panels.

No prior knowledge of flow cytometry is assumed. This course will give you a firm grounding in the basics of flow cytometry, as well as delving into the complicated issues researchers can often face.

Registration closes on the 18th as I then have to give catering numbers etc.

Thurka, preparing my talk I've just notice I only have a very preliminary programme - do you have a final version?

And is your course fully booked? I guess yes, but if needed, I can send an invitation to our users.

Best,

Martin

Thanks again Martin for the nudge.

PS: given that microscopy and FACS are often used in combination, it would be useful if you added the link to the FILM website to your own website (yours is already on ours)

Hi Martin,

I'm happy to take just an abstract for now to advertise the course a bit more as well as the booklets I need to prepare....the talk itself was to prepare booklets in advance to hand-out on the mornings during registration. 

Many thanks

Dear Thurka,

  I don't think I will be able to submit my talk yet, too many other things are more urgent at the moment. I'll try to do it as soon as possible, but I very much doubt many participants will look at it so early anyway.

Best regards,

Martin

Dear Invited Speaker

 

I am writing to invite you to submit a short abstract and to finalise the title of your intended talk (if not done so already). 

 

In late August/early September I am hoping all Speakers will be able to provide a copy of their proposed talk; I am aiming to have booklets printed to be ready for the second week of September.  This has arisen due to comments received from previous courses of delegates requesting printouts of presentations to be used as reference material during the talks.

 

I would be happy for speakers to obviously omit anything they do not wish to be printed and I acknowledge that talks are even amended at the last hour, so having the backbone of the slides to be presented, would be very helpful and very much appreciated.  

Please feel free to contact me should you need any further information and I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best wishes,
