Course contents *

The course contains a series of lectures and seminars where subjects like immunology, flow cytometry theory, antibodies and conjugated fluorophores are discussed. Students are expected to take an active role in these discussions. A large part of the education will be compulsory practical sessions performed at the flow cytometry lab at Biofysics, Scilifelab. 

Intended learning outcomes *

After completion of the course the student shall:

• Have good theoretical knowledge about fluorophores and flow cytometry
• Be able to design experiments for phenotypic characterization of cells by flow cytometry
• Be able to perform basic analysis of flow cytometry data
• Be able to design basic panels for multiple colors
