Do you want to learn the importance of monitoring blood monocyte subset with a standardized flow cytometry methodology?

Several studies have identified relevant changes in relative and absolute numbers of circulating monocytes / macrophages in the aftermath of several clinical settings, especially involving tissue damage. For this reason, peripheral blood monitoring represents a sensitive test for the detection and quantification of the different subsets of monocytes.

Invited speaker: Daniela Damasceno

University of Salamanca

Department of Medicine and General Cytometry Service

Our invited speaker, Daniela Damasceno will share with you:

• Why do we need to study blood monocytes by flow cytometry.
• Monitoring monocyte subsets in clinical practice:
  • Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
  • Coronary artery disease
• Other applications in tissue damage and blood monocytes reference values.
• Flow cytometry analysis of a healthy donor using Infinicyt 2.0 software.

Daniela Damasceno works for the Cytometry Service of the University of Salamanca and is also a researcher for the PERISCOPE and TiMaScan projects. She is currently in her last year of doctoral thesis related to the analysis of circulating tissue macrophages by flow cytometry. Daniela has a degree in Biomedical Sciences, a master’s degree in Molecular Biomedicine and a master’s degree in Cancer Biology. She is also a Medicine student since 2017.
