On the 2026 FLxFlow Webinar, we will have Rui Gardner, PhD, Director of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who will explore how imaging-enabled flow cytometry is expanding the capabilities of modern single-cell analysis.
This webinar is particularly relevant for the FLxFlow community, as these cutting-edge imaging flow cytometry technologies are now available within the network through the BD FACSDiscover™ A8 at NOVA Medical School and the BD FACSDiscover™ S8 at GIMM. The session will provide an excellent opportunity to discover the potential of these platforms and learn how they can support innovative research applications.
Date: Thursday, 9 July 2026 | 2:30 PM (Lisbon Time) | Online session

Title: From Images to Insights: Expanding Flow Cytometry Applications with BD CellView™ and FACSDiscover™ Technologies
Speaker:
Rui Gardner, PhD
Director of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York
Abstract:
The recently developed BD CellView™ Image technology incorporated in the FACSDiscover™ platform has been transformative by merging high-dimensional spectral flow cytometry with imaging collection, enabling researchers around the world to explore further dimensions beyond immunophenotyping, including cell-cell interactions, internalization, co-localization, among others. In this short webinar, we will provide a glance into some of the applications we have been developing within our research institution, including some novel tools for imaging analysis within flow cytometry data.
