1-3 octobre 2013 ◘ 1 st -3 rd October 2013 Bordeaux, France Aims :

Recently, great technological improvements have been performed in multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) to study complex biological systems. However, the difficulty of implementing MFC is a real barrier limiting its broad use. Similarly, knowledge is often lacking, in advanced analytical tools and methods needed to handle the mass of information generated by MFC. An emerging innovating technology, the multiparameter mass cytometry (MMC) allows the simultaneous analysis of more than 40 parameters. This new technology (also referred to as CyTOF) faces similar challenges in analysis and data visualization as MFC. Therefore, the formation into the laboratories is crucial to control all aspects of multiparametric approaches that will be addressed during this workshop. To fulfill these goals, MFC and MMC technologies will be introduced by experts of each experimental field and illustrated using concrete examples of applications in clinical research. These presentations will be completed by an introduction to current software solutions in order to analyze huge datasets generated by these two approaches. Finally, emerging technologies will be presented, mainly in the field of image cytometry. Audience All biological scientists, engineers, medical doctors, post-doctoral fellows and students who are interested in the application of advanced cytometry techniques in their respective experimental fields and are eager to increase the number of parameters studied simultaneously. A basic knowledge in conventional flow cytometry (4-6 parameters) is required. Lectures will be given in English.

This a very nice tutorial describing the verious aspects of a flow cytometer thanks to sseveral animations.
