Speakers
Dr. Charlotte Petersen is the manager of the FACS Core Facility at Aarhus University for the past 14 years. She teaches master and PhD students in flow cytometry and teaches users to run analyzers and sorters on their own. She assists all her users in setting up flow cytometric experiments and data analysis.
Garret Guenther received his PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine where he routinely used flow cytometry to evaluate the response of cancer cells to starvation by blocking the expression of nutrient transporter proteins. After his graduate work, he went on to work with two biotech companies in the field of antibody discovery to develop therapeutics targeting GPCRs and other proteins. Dr. Guenther is currently the Product Manager for flow cytometry at Agilent Technologies.
