Course description

The course has been given 1-2 times/year at KI since 2001. The course is well recognised for its systematic introduction of flow cytometry and the broad coverage of flow cytomeric applications. It has been highly appreciated by the participants throughout the years, with a median general satisfaction score never below 8 (out of 9; referred to paper-based course evaluation between 2001-2013), and highly remarked with the electronic course evaluation (since 2014).

Course will be given during week 41 (Oct 7-11, 2024; 9:00-16:30). The major part of the course activities will be onsite, while some lectures may be given via Zoom for our responsibilities of sustainable development and minimizing environment burden of travelling. The course will have one whole-day wet lab sessions. Course lecture hall have been booked at Fakultetssalen/Faculty lecture hall, L1:00, Anna Stecksens gata 53, Karolinska University Hospital-Solna. Lectures will be given by 14-15 lecturers, usually half of them from institutions outside KI, with two to three lecturers from abroad. All the lecturers are well-established experts in their lecture subjects of flow cytometric applications.
