Cytometry in Mental Health
Alban Gaultier, PhD

Chotima Böttcher, PhD

Senior Scientist, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Clinic, Molecular Psychiatry Lab

In recent years, there has been increasing acknowledgement of the important role mental health plays in achieving global development goals, as illustrated by the inclusion of mental health in the Sustainable Development Goals. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability and suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions. Recently, much has been discovered about the link between the immune system and mental health. Likewise, there is increasing evidence that dysbiosis and inflammation of the gut is linked to several mental illnesses, including anxiety and depression. Cytometric technologies, especially flow and mass cytometry, have played a major role in these areas of research and are expected to be instrumental in unraveling the relationship of the microbiome and the immune system with mental health disorders and ultimately lead to better treatment options.

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. A recent challenge for both human and animal health is the spread of antimicrobial resistance at an alarming rate. Misuse of antimicrobials for human use and in animal husbandry has driven the increase in antimicrobial resistance, making it more difficult to treat human and animal infections. There is a real concern that in the very near future, antimicrobials will no longer be effective due to resistance. As Stephan Harbarth and colleagues point out in their report Antimicrobial resistance: one world, one fight! it is a global challenge, in which many professionals and even the public have to play a part in fighting.

Data Science and Cytometry: Why taking it “one cell at a time” may not be enough…
Greg Finak, PhD

CTO and Co-founder, Ozette Technologies

Sofie Van Gassen, PhD

Postdoctoral Researcher, VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research


The root of the word “Cytometry” is two Greek words “Kytos” and “metria”; literally translating as “cell measurement”. As cytometrists, we seek to use technologies and methodologies that allow us to turn our cells in to sets of numbers that hopefully then allow us to accurately describe the biology under investigation. One of the biggest challenges we face is how to deal with such rich data, often composed of 100,000s of single cells and possibly 1000s of individual measurement per cell. Moreover, we are now in the realms of “multi-omics” cytometry approaches as well as technologies that are able to conduct tissue-based spatial analysis adding further layers of complexity. Global initiatives such as the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) are being driven at pace by single cell (cytometry) technologies and are all too aware of the challenges posed by data analysis. Our single cell data however is often part of a much bigger picture where it must be integrated an analysed within the wider context of social, occupational and environmental metrics as well as those of a clinical, biological and behavioral nature. This session at Cyto Virtual Interactive 2021 will focus on enabling and empowering tools for single cell data analysis and we will hear from two leading experts in this field. Please join us for what will be a superb event.

Healthier environments could prevent almost one quarter of the global burden of disease. The COVID-19 pandemic is a further reminder of the delicate relationship between people and our planet. Clean air, stable climate, adequate water, sanitation and hygiene, safe use of chemicals, protection from radiation, healthy and safe workplaces, sound agricultural practices, health-supportive cities and built environments, and a preserved nature are all prerequisites for good health.

Cytometry in Tropical Diseases
Julie Nelson

Lab Manager, Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory, Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Disease, University of Georgia

Alvaro Bertho, PhD

Senior Researcher, Flow Cytometry Core, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, FIOCRUZ


The scope of this session is to illustrate the relevance of flow cytometry in trying to understand the biology and interactions of parasites, bacteria, and viruses responsible for tropical diseases including the immunopathogenesis developed by the host and how flow cytometry contributes to bettering our understanding of the immune response in neglected-tropical diseases and to improving treatments.
During the first part of the session, Julie Nelson from the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (USA) will show how flow cytometry is used to develop research tools to study the metabolic and biochemical functions of parasites in their interaction with host cells, to study the immune response to infection and to discover new drugs, assess drug efficacy and drug resistance. Ms. Nelson will use publications from their faculty to highlight the multi-functionality of flow analysis, sorting and imaging to “pursue cutting edge research on tropical and emerging global disease, train students in this field, and effectively tackle global diseases of poverty” (from their mission statement https://ctegd.uga.edu/about/who-we-are/)
Dr. Alvaro Luiz Bertho, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz – FioCruz (Brazil), will show some flow cytometry applications in the study of immunopathogenesis of neglected-tropical diseases, such as Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, Malaria and Schistosomiasis. Dr. Bertho will illustrate some of the different approaches that they regularly use such as immunological responses, apoptosis, cell cytotoxicity and cellular exhaustion, as well as the contributions of Extracellular Vesicles in the immune response of infected patients.

Cytometry in Antimicrobial Resistance
Timothy Inglis, BM, DM, PhD, FRCPath, FRCPA, DTM&H

Professor, University of Western Australia

Sunghoon Kwon, PhD

Professor, Seoul National University



Antimicrobial resistance occurs when pathogens change over time to no longer respond to medicines, making them much harder to treat and fueling the spread of disease. The alarming spread of multi-and pan-resistant bacterial “superbugs”, coupled with antibiotic shortages affecting countries at all stages of development and the paucity of the antimicrobial clinical pipeline have created a global emergency requiring innovative thinking to resolve. Quantitative cell sciences can provide improvements in the sensitivity and rapidity of clinical detection of antimicrobial resistance, help map and even predict of resistance patterns, and inform the development of robust and targeted antimicrobial approaches to meet this global challenge.

“It is through ISAC, and specifically attendance at CYTO, that I met most of my colleagues in Flow Cytometry.  This has not only led me to take part in exciting collaborations, but also to form connections that have opened up countless professional opportunities with amazing scientists in our global cytometry community.”

Kathy Daniels

“What I enjoy most about CYTO is meeting up with colleagues from all around the world for invaluable networking!  One of the most important parts for me is all of the little bits of helpful information about SRL management, troubleshooting instruments, and assay development that I gain from chats with colleagues.”

Rachael Walker

“CYTO is a great opportunity to meet other researchers who are passionate about flow cytometry.  2019 was my third CYTO conference, enabling me to get much more insight into how ISAC works and how many people team up with so much passion to bring cytometry education forward!”

André Görgens

“CYTO was unforgettable for its wonderful tutorials on single cell analysis and amazing lectures given by top immunologists. For the first time, I co-chaired a plenary session where I had a chance to meet experts!  Their lectures enlightened my future research – the more complex it is the more passionate I become.”
