Theory-To-Practice Flow Cytometry Workshop 2023

Meet our esteemed faculties!

Tomáš Kalina

Tomáš Kalina is currently an Associated Professor at Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Charles University in Prague, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Czech Republic. He is a president of Czech Society for Analytical Cytometry, council member of International Society for Advancement of Cytometry, and a member of HCDM council. Throughout his career, he focused on development and translational application of flow cytometry-based techniques (immunodeficiency, immune monitoring, leukemia phenotyping, minimal residual disease monitoring, bead-based proteomics, and algorithmic data analysis). He develops new techniques and applications for polychromatic, spectral, and mass cytometry.

Meet our esteemed faculties!

Dr. Maria Jaimes earned her MD degree at the Universidad Javeriana in Colombia (South America).

Dr Jaimes completed her postdoctoral training at Stanford University in the department of Microbiology and Immunology. During her postdoc, she worked at characterizing the immune responses to both rotavirus and influenza viruses after natural infection and immunization. In 2005, Dr Jaimes joined BD Biosciences. While at BD, Maria worked in different aspects of quality assurance and standardization of flow cytometry assays. As part of the R&D reagent team she participated in the development and testing of new dyes and was also involved in the development and characterization of new instruments and sofware.

Since 2015, Maria has been working at Cytek Biosciences and is part of the R&D team who developed the Aurora Full Spectrum Cytometer. Dr Jaimes has overseen the instrument characterization, verification and development of multicolor applications. Besides her responsibilities within the R&D team, Dr Jaimes leads the Technical Applications Support team worldwide.

Flow cytometric immunophenotyping remains an irreplaceable technique for the identification, classification, staging, and monitoring of hematologic malignancies.

Due to its capacity to effectively identify abnormal cell populations, characterize their phenotypes, and determine lineage classification, flow cytometry is extensively employed in the diagnosis of acute leukemias, leukemias of blasts, mature B-cell leukemias, mature T/NK cell leukemias and mature or maturing myeloid leukemias.

Did you know?

The challenge in studying extracellular vesicles (EVs) using flow cytometry arises from their significantly smaller size compared to the cells traditionally analyzed by modern flow cytometers. Analyzing EVs with conventional flow cytometers can lead to various artifacts if the researcher fails to take proper precautions to prevent swarm effects. Swarm effects can occur due to coincident events at the laser intercept with the sample or due to excess event anomalies in the instrument's signal processing.

Join TopFCW23 to gain insights into novel flow cytometry-based method for accurate and reliable analysis of EVs.
