Online course: Flow cytometry data analysis

The Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) is hosting an interactive online course on flow cytometry data analysis this spring. The main Research Module will run from 2–5 March 2026, with an optional Clinical Module to follow (date TBC). Over four half-days, the course will provide practical training in a wide range of applications, including antibody phenotyping, DNA content and cell cycle kinetics, cell proliferation and death, functional assays, and high-dimensional analysis using clustering and dimensionality reduction.

Pre-recorded lectures will be shared in advance, allowing delegates to prepare for live, small-group practical sessions held each afternoon. Participants will work with provided data files and follow step-by-step analysis guided by expert demonstrators, using either FlowJo or FCS Express. Applications specialists will also be on hand to provide additional support and insight.

The course is scheduled in the afternoon UK time (14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET / 09:00 EST) to accommodate multiple time zones. For delegates joining from Australia (ACDT), sessions will begin at 12:30 am on 3–6 March. This course is suitable for those new to flow cytometry as well as for those wishing to broaden their experience and explore advanced analysis applications.
