Cytometry in R

Cytometry in R is a free virtual mini-course being organized by the Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Core at the University of Maryland’s Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center. This course is a passion project arising from our desire to contribute back to the community.

We are excited that so many individuals worldwide have chosen to take part, and we look forward to helping you get started on your own learning journeys.

Participating

The course will start the first week of February, with Week #1 resources being released on Sunday, February 1st at 2200 EST (Monday 0300 GMT+0). See below for additional details.

Resources

The pre-course learning materials are now available, providing walkthroughs of how to set up your workstations with the required software, and exercises to help you become more familiar with the various teaching and coding resources we will be using throughout the course.

Narrated versions of the walk through materials are now also available via YouTube
