Two of the big names in Flow Cytometry Derek Davies and Andreas Spittler
Andreas reflects on wanting to become a teacher before university
Derek on how moving into a core facility opened the door to a whole career
They also discuss how flow has changed over the decades
The importance of supporting and training other scientists
AND the challenge of stepping back from work that has shaped so much of their lives
Key take home: find your niche, put your heart into it, and follow it with commitment

Great course, covers the basics and common applications but in a real world hands-on lab environment. Four days with tutors who are happy to answer any questions.
Hands-on, Flow Cytometer Course June 2026. Fully interactive, fun and engaging throughout, led by some of the most reputable cytometrists.
Very small groups with individual tutors at each instrument. Course Feedback averages 5/5!
