Annual Research Course in Flow Cytometry

Dear FLOWers:

The year is drawing to a close and it is time for the first 
announcement of the annual research flow cytometry course which will 
be held in Los Alamos next year.  For application materials contact 
Ruby Archuleta whose addresses are listed at the bottom of the 
announcement.

All of us at the National Flow Cytometry Resource wish you a Happy 
Holiday season!

ANNUAL COURSE IN FLOW CYTOMETRY

Los Alamos, New Mexico, June 11-17, 2005

Sponsored 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.

Details to be finalized soon after the first of the year include 
course tuition, faculty and special lecturer.  Stay tuned.
