2nd EuroFlow Winter Course on MRD - Prague - FULL
Minimal Residual Disease has become of utmost importance for therapy montoring in hematological diseases, including B- and T-lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL, T-ALL), Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia (CLL). The EuroFlow methods and tubes for MRD analysis are of high sensitivity and specificity and - for MM-MRD - considered the leading standard.
The EuroFlow Winter Course on MRD is designed as hands-on, case-based intensive training for already experienced clinical cytometrists, introducing them to the EuroFlow procedures, analysis of the EuroFlow panels and use of its associated databases in Infinicyt. The Winter Course is open to 40 participants maximum.
Who is this course for?
The EuroFlow Winter Course is designed for cytometrists with over 3 years of clinical flow experience, analyzing data and preparing reports.
Course Content
Each course module begins with a EuroFlow expert explaining the underlying theory, followed by a live case-analysis demonstration that highlights strategies and common pitfalls. Participants then work on case files individually or in small groups, with guidance from tutors. All tutors are experienced lecturers from the EuroFlow Consortium.
Please note: The course will be given In English.
Social Event
We look forward to network with students and faculty at the Social Event on Monday evening and join us also for a guided tour through historical Carolinum on Tuesday.
Infinicyt software
During the course you will get access to remote computers from the EuroFlow campus with access to the practice files and Infinicyt software.

In addition, we will organize an online introduction to the software in December in cooperation with BD Biosciences/Cytognos.
