"Flow Cytometry in Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics" international school with elements of a school for young scientists opened at the China-Russia Research and Education Centre for System Pathology of South Ural State University on September 8th.
More than 20 participants, including not only Master's degree and postgraduate students, but also medical practitioners, arrived from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tyumen, Petrozavodsk, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and other regions of our country to take part in this school.

During training, using unique equipment, they will learn how to determine the relative and absolute content of the main lymphocyte populations, thereby diagnosing human immunity-related diseases, design "multicolour" protocols, and perform quality control of equipment.
“Twenty years ago, when the school opened for the first time, we used second-generation devices, and now we use the fifth-generation ones,” said the conference organizer, Doctor of Sciences (Medicine) Aleksandr Zurochka. “The most important thing is the transition to “multicolour” analysis. We can track up to 20 “colours,” i.e., receptors, for each cell. It has become possible not only to evaluate the number of T-lymphocytes or other immune cells, but also to study their functional activity at the nanolevel.”The school for immunologists is part of a large anniversary 20th All-Russian Conference "Immunology Readings in Chelyabinsk" with international participation, which will begin at SUSU on September 11th and will bring together doctors and biologists from all over our country. Each participant in the school automatically becomes a participant in the conference and can get acquainted with the latest achievements of academic science.
