Following the success of our first Flow Cytometry series in March (links to recordings below), Researcher Live brings you ‘Flow Cytometry vol 2’ – a July edition! Sign up here to receive email reminders for this collection!
Join our first episode on 27th July at 4pm BST / 3pm GMT with Derek Davies, Francis Crick Institute, an already established Researcher Live presenter and an expert in flow cytometry!
What are we going to talk about in this episode?
Flow cytometry is a single-cell analysis platform that has many applications. It is well suited to studying cell proliferation - something that we often do in the research lab and in the clinical field. Rather than using single parameter DNA analysis, we can dissect the cell cycle, looking at individual cell cycle phases and following cells through multiple rounds of divisions. In this webinar, Derek will look at some of the more common applications principally thymidine analog staining to identify cycling cells and the dye dilution method to assess rounds of division. Derek will discuss some of the important practical steps that need to be considered to run a successful proliferation experiment.
The slides for this event can be found here.

Derek Davies, Francis Crick Institute
Derek is a National STP Training Lead at The Francis Crick Institute. He has been involved in Cytometry since 1980. After an initial grant-funded project looking at DNA and protein content in cervical cells, he moved to a core facility at what was the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London. In 1996, he became the Head of the Facility which at the time had 3 sorters and 3 analysers and a staff of 3. In 2002, the ICRF became Cancer Research UK’s London Research Institute and the facility grew providing analysis, sorting and image cytometry. In 2015 the London Research Institute merged with the National Institute for Medical Research and became the Francis Crick Institute. He oversaw the transition of two flow facilities to the new Institute which now contains 30 cytometers – traditional flow cytometers, imaging flow cytometers and mass cytometers, and has a staff of 12. In early 2019 he moved into a more wide-reaching role and is responsible for training in all the Francis Crick Institute’s Core Facilities (or Science Technology Platforms).
Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
