Abstract:
This session will present attendees with a unique opportunity to hear from five panelists and experts within the flow cytometry field. Together they will walk you through an exciting conversation on the evolution of flow cytometry, how it works, and how this technology has evolved, impacting research discoveries and the development of new technologies. This presentation will close with a discussion on spatial flow cytometry and proteomics. The latest and newest era in the development of flow cytometry’s contribution to research.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to learn about and ask questions on:
• The evolution of flow cytometry over the last 50 years.
• How flow cytometry works.
• Development and history of fluorochromes
• The evolution of spectral flow cytometry and its impact on developing new tools for research.
• Applying Spatial proteomics and flow cytometry together.

ABRF Online Workshop - Proteomics Cloud Computing
Proteomics Cloud Computing Online Workshops - See Workshop Materials Here
The iPRG will conduct a series of online video tutorials about the use of cloud computing resources for MS-based proteomics, focusing on Nextflow, the Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) and Galaxy Platform. Attendees for this workshop may attend one, or all of this three-part series on Cloud Computing.
See introductory video by Ben Neely, NIST here....
September 12-16
Trans Proteomic Pipeline: Michael Hoopman of ISB, in Seattle, Washington will provide instructions on how to us TPP to analyze MS data. Pre-recorded content will be sent in advance of the sessions for attendees to watch and learn processes, followed by a live training session.

Instilling a Culture of Collaboration and Mindfulness around Core Instrumentation
Many shared resource facilities support instrumentation that is provided to end instrument operators in either a semi- or completely unsupervised manner. To effectively manage these resources, it’s important to build operational structures that instill trust between core members and instrument operators. Core directors and staff need to be able to tune messaging and training to connect with the different strata of their user base – day-to-day users, occasional customers that need updated training, primary investigators, and research administration. Core staff must also be able to put safety, policy, and engineering controls in place to ensure proper material and data handling, that troubleshooting is robust and instrument issues are dealt with quickly and fairly, and that the systems managed by the Core will generate validated and trustworthy results. In this town hall, we’ll discuss success stories and implementation strategies used by two shared resource facilities and share how they grow a culture of respectful communication between staff and instrument operators.
Speakers: Marie Adams, Van Andel Institute
Michelle Itano, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (presentation)
Derek Jones, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (presentation)
Stephen Polter, University of Rochester Medical Center
