Overview
Senior Research Assistant
The Flow Cytometry Section provides state-of-the-art high-parameter cell analysis and sorting services to support NIAMS IRP investigators in their pursuit of the Institute’s mission. We provide sorting services, maintain and update the equipment, train instrument users, and collaborate on creative solutions to scientific questions. Our interests include single-cell multiomics, high-parameter data reduction analysis, and cytometric analysis of intracellular signaling events.
