Designing Panels for the Study of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

About the Presenters

Dr. Steffen Schmitt
German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)  

Steffen Schmitt studied biology at the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg and finished his PhD with a concentration in immunology. Subsequent to his postdoc, he developed the flow cytometric service at the Center for Natural and Medical Sciences (NMFZ) at Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz. Since 2007 Steffen has headed the Flow Cytometry Core Facility of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg.

 Dr. Marcus Eich
 Hi-Stem gGmbH

Marcus Eich studied biology at the Technical University Darmstadt and earned his PhD in 2011 in toxicology at the University Medical Center Mainz. After an additional postdoc in Mainz in 2015, he joined the HI-STEM team and the Flow Cytometry Core Facility of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg.

Webinar Summary

The hematopoietic system is a very fascinating system to study as it can re-populate an entire system starting from just one cell. This webinar gives an overview of the targeted subpopulations of the hematopoietic system and how different experimental tasks and setups in one panel were combined. At the end, issues that occurred during the panel design are discussed and a short outlook is presented about how to further improve the panel.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the hematopoietic system from a backbone panel to specialized subpopulations, combining different experimental setups in panel design.
• Apply tips and tricks for this panel.

Who Should Attend

PhD students, postdocs, and technicians involved in hematopoietic stem cell research.
