BD Horizon™ Next Global Education Tour (2026)

BD Horizon™ Next Global Education Tour (2026)

CPOS Imaging and Flow Cytometry Core is pleased to invite you to the BD Horizon™ Next Global Education Tour (2026), a full-day workshop led by Dr. Bob Balderas, Vice President Biological Sciences, Waters Biosciences, and a recognized expert in spectral flow cytometry and high-dimensional single-cell analysis.

This workshop will provide practical strategies for designing high-performance spectral panels, optimizing fluorochrome selection, ensuring reproducible data quality, and gaining deeper biological insights from complex single-cell experiments. Participants will also explore emerging advances in imaging-enabled spectral cytometry and take part in an interactive panel design exercise.

Event Details:

Date: 18 August 2026 (Tuesday)
Time: 9:30 – 17:00
Venue: 1/F Boardroom, Daniel & Mayce Yu Administration Wing, Faculty of Medicine Building, 21 Sassoon Road

Agenda:

Time Topic
9:30 – 10:00 Register
10:00 – 11:00 Topic 1 – Foundation for high‑performance spectral panels: pair optimization

What separates a good panel from a great one? Discover key considerations for designing effective spectral flow cytometry panels. This session introduces practical strategies for selecting and pairing fluorochromes to enhance data quality, improve resolution, and support more confident biological insights in complex multicolor experiments.

11:00 – 12:00 Topic 2 – Achieve consistency in panel design: a structured approach

How can researchers build spectral panels that remain robust as complexity grows? Discover a practical framework for panel design, validation, and expansion, while learning strategies to maintain reproducibility, consistency, and biological resolution across experiments and evolving research needs.

12:00 – 13:30 🥪Lunch (light meals will be provided)
13:30 – 14:30 Topic 3 – Quality and insights from biological data: a case study

Can panel design impact scientific discovery? Using real biological datasets, this session demonstrates how data quality, marker resolution, and analytical strategies work together to reveal hidden cellular diversity and generate deeper insights from spectral flow cytometry experiments.

14:30 – 15:30 Topic 4 – Visualizing image-derived parameters: the next frontier in cytometry

Explore how imaging-enabled spectral flow cytometry is expanding beyond traditional fluorescence measurements. Discover how image-derived parameters and spatial information can provide deeper insights into cellular function, activation states, and cell-to-cell interactions, opening new possibilities for single-cell analysis and biological discovery.

15:30 – 15:45 Short break
15:45 – 17:00 Panel design practice & wrap-up
