TraCy Talks
8, 15, 22 March 2021 | Online
“TraCy Talks” aim to show the most frequent and recent applications of Flow Cytometry in different areas of research. As such, this initiative meant to transmit what are the best practices from up-to-date theory to experimental approaches by an expert in the field, concluding with a review of protocols minimizing frequent errors. “Tracy Talks” will take place on regular basis, with each edition having a main theme to be subdivided in related topics and explored.
