Previous knowledge expected

Basic knowledge of cell biology strongly recommended! This course is recommended for master and PhD-students.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Students will know the basic principles and applications of flow cytometry and cell sorting and their use in biotechnology. Participants will be able to identify important aspects of flow cytometric analyses and controls and will be able to design and implement experiments and to interpret results.
