At the Cyto conference in Montreal 2 weeks ago, we picked up (flow-cytometry.net), a tool that uses AI to instantly designate optimized panels of cytometry (conventional and spectral). We therefore wish to communicate this information to the French cytometry community.

EasyPanel is a French startup that has developed an algorithm that automatically offers panels that minimize spillover/complexity/similarity score, match antigens to fluorochromes (based on expression/coexpression levels and fluorochrome brightness) and identify commercially available products (the tool is directly integrated with the commercial database of all suppliers, and is diagnostic of it).

About a hundred universities/pharma companies already use this tool, most of them in the US (but also a few in France: Pasteur, Servier, IGR…).

A webinar is therefore offered to you on June 29 to discover the interest of this software in your laboratories.

Follow the Webinar (Microsoft Teams) on June 29 at 11 a.m ICI 

Please feel free to forward this information to other researchers, engineers, technicians, students, clinicians who do cytometry/panel design.

See you on June 29, block the date in your calendars !

Mercredi 7 juin à 13h

Live-Cell Barcoding with Anti-CD45 Antibodies for Mass Cytometry

Présenté par Pauline Maby

Immunomonitoring department, Pauli Calmettes Institute, Marseille

Lien zoom : https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/j/87588252730?pwd=ek5ZQytnSEd6Q21ZM3FvZ3Bka3lQZz09

Résumé : Le codage à barres CD45 des cellules vivantes implique la coloration d’échantillons de cellules immunitaires avec des combinaisons uniques d’anticorps anti-CD45 comme identificateurs d’échantillons. Cela permet le regroupement d’échantillons afin de les traiter comme un échantillon de cellule unique pour la coloration et l’acquisition des cellules. Il améliore le flux de travail, améliore la cohérence des données et réduit l’utilisation de réactifs.

Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de toutes les étapes d’une expérience de codage à barres CD45 sur cellules vivantes, de la conception du panel à l’analyse des données. Tout d’abord, lors du panel design, il est important de s’assurer que la coloration CD45 n’interfère pas avec la détection de marqueurs d’intérêt dans d’autres canaux. Ensuite, plusieurs ajustements doivent être apportés aux procédures de coloration et d’acquisition. Enfin, les fichiers FCS obtenus à partir d’échantillons de cellules à code-barres sont décodés pour attribuer chaque événement cellulaire à son échantillon d’origine.

En espérant vous y retrouver nombreux !

A très bientôt !

Vous invite à son Webinar 2023

Vitalité Cellulaire

La vitalité cellulaire dépend de la charge énergétique des cellules. Elle se traduit par la cinétique des réactions métaboliques ou activité métabolique. Dans les industries de fermentation, les ferments doivent être viables mais aussi actifs pour coloniser rapidement le milieu en début de fermentation. On peut aussi évaluer l’effet de stress sur les cellules par la mesure de vitalité. La cytométrie en flux permet de mesurer en 30min la vitalité cellulaire, ce qui est plus simple et plus rapide que les mesures cinétiques d’activités métaboliques. Ce webinaire présentera la méthode avec quelques exemples de corrélation avec des mesures d’activités sur des levures et des bactéries.

Dear colleagues,
 
We are collecting information to assess the level of interest in educational materials in languages other than English for our “Lost in Translation: Cytometry in a Multilingual Setting” workshop at CYTO in Montreal which will take place on Sunday May 21 from 15:45 to 16:45 in room 511D. 

We created a survey which will take only 5 min to answer. The survey will be due at 5pm on May 10th.

Here is the link:
https://forms.office.com/r/ua4W5bj7X3

Some background and a link to CYTO 2023 Program: 
https://www.cytoconference.org/program.html

Scientific communication at the higher level worldwide takes place in English and any scientist who wishes to advance their career internationally must be fluent. There is, however, a huge population of clinical, research and industrial cytometrists who are not English fluent and who are working at institutions where the primary language is not English. Often technical staff, both in research and clinical environments, are the ones operating the instruments and generating the data but are not able to follow training courses or teaching material in English. In this workshop we would like to address the issues encountered by English speaking or bilingual faculty teaching in countries where this has been a difficulty and explore ways to improve them. The second topic is to put into place a system to identify and gather educational material, whether in English or already existing in other languages, to translate into multiple languages and to make the translated material available for free access to all who can benefit.

Could you please diffuse this information and survey to anyone or groups who might be interested? Welcome any of the associated societies or persons who might be interested in participating in this endeavor for different languages to attend the workshop. If you are not coming to CYTO you can contact Zosia directly at the emails below. 

Thanks for your time and support!

Our Best Regards,

Zosia Maciorowski, zosiamaciorowski@gmail.com

Dear cytometry users,

We are reaching out to you, kindly asking for 3 minutes of your precious time to fill out a survey to share with us your experience using computational tools for cytometry data analysis–whatever your level of experience with these tools, even if non-existent! 

Survey link: https://forms.gle/igs2s42efQ1mB5kSA

Your feedback is needed to help us identify the barriers and pain points preventing users from adopting computational analytical tools. This knowledge will allow us to develop solutions to overcome such obstacles.

This survey is open until May 12^th and results will be presented at the CYTO conference in Montreal, during the workshop: “Overcoming analysis paralysis: How to break into the high-dimensional cytometry data analysis space” that will take place on May 22^nd at 3:45PM in room 510A.

Thank you for your input!

After two years of exchanging via screens, we are impatient to be able to bring together the community of EVologists during a face-to-face congress.

For the occasion, the FSEV (French Society of Extracellular Vesicles) is joining forces with the AFC (French Cytometry Association) to organize a congress in Paris from October 19 to 21, 2022.

This congress will offer you an afternoon dedicated to the contribution of flow cytometry technology in the study of extracellular vesicles.

Two days of plenary sessions, oral presentations and posters will then follow which will give you an overview of the vitality and excellence of French research on extracellular vesicles. We hope to see many of you there!

Registration and abstract submission are open. You can submit your abstracts until September 09, 2022. Registration is open until September 30, 2022.
