1^st Israeli ISAC
Flow Cytometry
workshop

December 15-17, 2019 Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel

The 1st Israeli ISAC Cytometry Workshop is jointly organized by the Weizmann Institute of Science in collaboration with ISAC (International Society for the Advancement of Cytometry). The workshop will cover intermediate and advanced cytometry topics and will consist of lectures and practical modules taught by international experts in the field. We are very grateful to our collaborators and sponsors for their support, without which these workshops could not take place.

This course will offer a range of cytometry applications at intermediate-high levels, tracks for multicolor panel design, advanced cell sorting and high dimensional data analysis as described below, as well as applications which include cell signalling, tips and tricks for cell preparation and intracellular staining, extracellular vesicles and imaging flow cytometry.

Several tracks will focus on specific topics:

1. The Multicolor flow cytometry and panel design track will cover the theory of panel design, with practical modules on how to design and evaluate a multicolor panel as well as pitfalls and troubleshooting sessions with our faculty experts.
2. The high dimensional data analysis track will introduce users to the principles and applications of high dimensional data analysis, with overviews of the state of the art and tools currently available, and will include practical modules using current software to teach students how to apply these analysis techniques to their own data.
3. The cell sorting track will focus on advanced applications: sorter preparation, setup and maintenance, cell preparation and collection best practices, techniques for single cell sorting, index sorting, evaluation of recovery for downstream applications and the new and exciting techniques for computational cell sorting.

Detailed descriptions of modules and faculty bios will be available on this site soon. Before the course you will be sent a final list of modules to indicate your preferences.
