Event Details

“One Dataset, Many Perspectives: Flow Cytometry Analysis Workflows”

This year’s meeting will showcase a unique comparative format focused on flow cytometry data analysis workflows. All speakers will work with the same FCS dataset and address identical biological questions, demonstrating how different analytical tools and pipelines approach the same research challenges. This side-by-side comparison will provide valuable insights into selecting the most appropriate analysis strategy for your own research needs.

Location:  DIAS, Danish Institute for Advanced Study – Fioniavej 34, 5230 Odense M
Date: Thursday, 16th April 2026
Time: 10:30–20:00
Including general assembly and dinner
