ELRIG Pharmaceutical Flow Cytometry & Imaging 2018

14 November 2018 - 15 November 2018

The 6th biennial Pharmaceutical Flow Cytometry and Imaging meeting will be held at GlaxoSmithKline, Stevenage, UK. Flow cytometry and imaging are two powerful technology platforms that enable high-content analysis of physiologically-relevant cell systems and pre-clinical and clinical biomarkers. Since our first meeting in 2008, we have seen the technology develop and the applications widen across many areas of industrial and academic drug discovery and development. This meeting will focus on the application of Flow Cytometry and Imaging to illuminate biology from the single cell to the patient. We aim to bring together the research community working in the field of flow cytometry and imaging with interests in developing and applying the technology for pharmaceutical research. Join scientists from pharma, biotech, CROs and academia to hear talks given by speakers at the cutting edge of cytometry, take part in commercial vendor lab-based workshops, network at the exhibition, innovation forum and speakers dinner and gain strategic insights into solutions for increasing the success of drug discovery and development.
