Upcoming Seminars & Events
The Center for Advanced Research Technologies Flow Cytometry Resource invites you to two special events on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025.
Morning Session – Memorial Symposium for Dr. Leon Wheeless
We begin the day by honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Leon Wheeless, emeritus professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, who passed away last April. Dr. Wheeless made pioneering contributions to slit-scanning cytometry and developed one of the earliest imaging flow cytometers—innovations that continue to shape the field today. Join us as former colleagues, collaborators, and students share reflections on his remarkable career and enduring impact.
Afternoon Session – Cytek Seminar on Imaging and Spectral Cytometry
After lunch, representatives from Cytek will present a series of talks highlighting the capabilities of the ImageStream and Spectral Cytometry platforms. Discover how imaging flow cytometry can support and enhance your research. We are also pleased to welcome back Jason Emo, a former URMC researcher, who will discuss building spectral flow panels and leveraging Cytek’s Autofluorescence (AF) Explorer to extract multiple autofluorescent signals from your data.
Cytek Office Hours – April 23
To provide personalized support, Cytek Applications Scientists will be available for one-on-one consultations in the Flow Core on Wednesday, April 23rd. This is an excellent opportunity to have your specific questions about Imaging and Spectral Cytometry addressed directly. To schedule a session, please email FCRScheduling@urmc.rochester.edu with your top three preferred times, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Date | Seminar Details and Resources | Presented By/ Contact Information |
|---|---|---|
3/11/2025 | Integra Biosciences and the Assist Plus Robot Demo Integra makes all types of liquid handling and automation equipment as well as consumables like tips and cool reservoirs. They’ll have operational examples of a number of products and will share information on those, but will have an emphasis on their Assist Plus system which is a fully automated pipetting robot with a huge number of potential functions. Assist Plus | Joseph Jarin Daniel Raymond Justin Rosenbloom |
3/5/2025 | FluoroFinder Demo and Training FluoroFinder has a very useful panel design assistance program, but it’s also become much more than that over the years as well. Webinar will focus on all the tools that Fluorofinder has to offer. Here is a link to the webinar recording - Fluorofinder Webinar Recording | Ryan Metzler |
2/25/2025 | CytoFLEX Nano Lunch & Learn The CytoFLEX Nano is dedicated small particle analyzer designed for multi-fluorescence measurements of particles as small as ~ 40nm using a fluidics system specifically designed for the purpose. RESOURCES CytoFlex Nano Nanoscale Flow Cytometry | Zoya Aziz |
1/14/25 | BD THNK Spectral Education Series Featured Talks - Conventional vs Spectral Flow: Building a Solid Foundation for Simpler, Smarter Flow Cytometry Panel Design - Next Frontier in Flow Cytometry: Integraating Spectral & Real-Time Imaging - Roundtable Technical Discussion with BD Application Scientists | Patrick Barrett Kimberlyn Acklin David Morris |
12/17/24 | 'Omics & Donuts featuring the Flow Cytometry Resource Hear lectures by URMC researchers utilizing advancements in flow cytometry to drive their research forward, and learn why our cutting-edge technologies and knowledgeable staff make us a national leader in flow cytometry research. Featured Speakers | Matthew Cochran Technical Director, URMC Flow Cytometry Resource |
12/10/2024 | Thinkcyte VisionSort powered by Ghost Cytometry True Innovation in Cell Analysis & Sorting - Drive Discovery with VisionSort This is new cell sorting technology that uses mostly label free AI driven morphological profiling to identify and sort cells. The system does also have 5 fluorescence parameters and scatter to help confirm phenotype, but once morphological profiling is established it can also be run completely label free when desired. VisionSort Ghost Cytometry | |
12/3/2024 | Miltenyi Biotec Lunch and Learn The primary speaker for the event will be Natasha Gadzik, a flow cytometry specialist at Miltenyi. We’ll also have a number of other members of the team to participate in a “office-hours” type session where anyone can ask questions and get tips for their research. | Tiffany Coon - Miltenyi Biotec Techinical Sales Consultant |
11/13/2024 | Making the Most of your Sample with Milliplex Kits Informational seminar regarding the Milliplex kit technology. The Milliplex xMap kits are the FCRs current primary choice for Luminex experiments and we look forward to learning about new offerings and new tools upcoming. | Ryan Blauvelt Mitchell MacLeod Brandon Miller |
