Electron Microscopy in the Molecular Era: A World Inside the World You See

The Anlyan Center Auditorium

300 Cedar Street, New Haven

Using the high-speed sorters, fluorescent tags and color analyzers of flow cytometry, biologists can count, sort and characterize the function of each of the millions of cells in a sample—at a rate as high as 30,000 cells per second. Flow cytometry has been a mainstay of immunology research since it was first introduced in the 1970s, but with recent advances in photonics, tagging and computational horsepower, the technique is making inroads into many other fields, including stem cell biology and cancer research. New refinements are allowing scientists to precisely quantify and characterize cell-cycle phase, cell proliferation, calcium signaling and intracellular molecular interactions.
