Go with the Flow – Why Flow Cytometry has Become one of the Most Sought-After Biotech Job Skills, and How to be Competitive

Published on :

In terms of lab techniques, flow cytometry is one of the most versatile out there when it comes to its biotech applications, and for good reason. Cell and gene therapies have gained considerable popularity in recent years, and the market is predicted to continue growing as we learn more information and become more savvy in how we engineer cells. And even if you’re not working directly in the cell therapy space, chances are you’ll still be utilizing flow to evaluate things such as how well a treatment worked or characterizing immune cell populations. From identifying biomarkers to cell sorting and everything in between, there’s little doubt that flow cytometry is an essential skill in today’s biotech ecosystem.
