Characterizing a Flow Cytometer’s Potential for Small Particle Detection - PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 90 MINUTE WEBINAR

the Speakers

Joshua Welsh- Staff Scientist, BD Sciences and Director, the Measuring Stick, Ltd

Joshua Welsh, Ph.D., recently joined BD’s Advanced Technology Group as a Staff Scientist where he works on next-generation standardization. He earned his BSc (Hons) in Physiology with Pharmacology from the University of Leicester and completed his Ph.D. in Translational Medicine at the University of Southampton. Dr. Welsh continued his training at the National Institutes of Health, where he advanced to a Staff Scientist role in Dr. Jennifer Jones' Translational Nanobiology Section. Dr. Welsh led initiatives like MISEV2023 and MIFlowCyt-EV, served as a member-at-large on the board of ISEV, chaired the ISEV reference materials task force, and led the ISEV-ISAC-ISTH EV flow cytometry working group. He is also the developer of FCMPASS, an optimization, calibration, and reporting tool for small particle flow cytometry.

Vera Tang - Manager & Adjunct Professor, University of Ottawa

Vera Tang, Ph.D., is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Ottawa in Canada. She has been managing the uOttawa Flow Cytometry and Virometry Core Facility since 2013, where she helps to educate the next generation of researchers and provides consultation and research support to both academia and industry. Her work focuses on developing reference materials, workflows, and best practices recommendations for small particle analysis. Vera is an ISAC SRL Emerging Leader (2018-2023), ISAC Councilor (2024-2028), Vice President and past President of the Canadian Cytometry & Microscopy Association, and an Associate Editor of Cytometry, Part A.
