CYTO 2019 Tutorial
On Sunday, June 23, Fluidigm will host a tutorial titled Deep Profiling of Immune Cell Phenotypes and Function from Circulation to Tissue with CyTOF Technology. At the event Michelle Poulin, PhD, of Fluidigm will introduce the Maxpar Direct Immune Profiling System. Data demonstrating high repeatability, site-to-site reproducibility and software precision will be shown. Thomas Ashhurst, BSc, High-Dimensional Cytometry Specialist at the Sydney Cytometry Facility in Australia, will present his research on how viral infection of the central nervous system stimulates a rapid influx of bone marrow-derived monocytes and macrophages into the parenchyma. He will describe use of Imaging Mass Cytometry to perform high-dimensional tissue profiling to gain a more comprehensive analysis of the key factors involved in this mobilization of the immune system.
Presentation Highlights
During the meeting, researchers from leading cancer centers and academic medical centers will share more than 70 presentations and posters using Fluidigm technologies. Of these, a few notable presentations include:
