Our Flow Cytometry Research Impact

Our network supports vital research in the medical, life sciences, biotechnology, food science and environment sectors. In the Midlands we use flow cytometry:

in immunology (Covid-19).

in plant science to examine ploidy levels and cell cycle analysis in plants to improve crop yield.

to examine thrombi in infection.

study antibody secreting cells in Dengue virus infection.

 

Sharing advanced flow cytometry equipment and training enables experiments that would not otherwise be possible, adding significant value to a wide range of research disciplines as well as developing collaborations across Midlands Innovation institutions.
