• BASIC COURSES:
BASICS OF FLOW CYTOMETRY (BD FACSARIA IIITM) (COURSE CODE– FLOW): A three day course on basic research Flow Cytometry for students or researchers with no/ minimal hands on experience. This course covers theory of Flow Cytometry, and its research applications. Hands on session will include routine procedure of instrument operation, quality control, data acquisition and data analysis using BD FACSDivaTM software. The data analysis will cover the concepts of color compensation, cell cycle analysis and multicolor immunophenotyping.
– MICROSCOPY AND HIGH CONTENT IMAGING (BD PATHWAY 855TM) (COURSE CODE- HCI): A three day course on Fluorescence/ Confocal Microscopy and High Content Image analysis for researchers with varied level of experience. This course encompasses theory and concepts of high content imaging and image analysis. The wet lab session will cover High Content Imaging of live and fixed cells followed by Image data acquisition, image analysis with BD Attovision softwareTM and image data analysis with BD IDE software.
• ADVANCED CYTOMETRY COURSES:
Advanced cytometry courses are designed for researchers with more than 6 months of experience with image and flow based cytometric techniques pertaining to the following topics
– NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY/ APOPTOSIS (COURSE CODE- NANO/APO): This advanced module will cover Flow cytometric Study of NP uptake by cells, study of apoptosis by flow and image based cytometry. The wet lab will include the following methods: Annexin V/ PI double staining, BrdU incorporation (TUNNEL) assay, Apoptosis associated mitochondrial membrane potential study by JC1.
– CELL SORTING (COURSE CODE- SORT): This advanced module will cover theory of flow cytometric sorting, concept of drop delay, different sorting modes and sort masks. The wet lab will include 2 way and 4 way sorting of beads and sorting of rare population of cells (Treg cells), cell sorting to 96 well plate will be demonstrated.
CELL SIGNALING (COURSE CODE- SIGNALING): This module will cover theory of cell signaling studies by flow and image cytometry. The wet lab will include stimulation of whole blood using different stimulators and analysis of phosphorylation in T lymphocytes. For the study of phosphorylated proteins from cell lysates the BD CBA method will be used.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Accommodations can be arranged at nearby guest house/ hotels on request and payments to be settled by the participants directly to the guest house/ hotel.
