Mark Your Calendars - Special Seminar

The University of South Alabama College of Medicine Flow Cytometry Core Facility is hosting a special seminar on June 30, 2011, at noon in the Medical Sciences Building on USA’s main campus.

The seminar, titled “Flow Cytometry Applications for Analysis of Protein Phosphorylation: Inter/Intra Cellular Communication Events,” will be presented by Michael Hulsey, M.S., a technical applications specialist in the Immunocytometry Systems Group of BD Biosciences.

Hulsey received his M.S. degree in cell physiology from Georgia State University in 2001. He has worked at BD Biosciences since 2007 and is responsible for providing technical assistance to BD customers with all of the instrumentation produced by BD.

Prior to working at BD Biosciences, Hulsey worked as a technical director of flow cytometry for the Emory Vaccine Center at Yerkes Primate Center Flow Cytometry Core from 2000 to 2007. The Vaccine Center Flow Core had six analytical instruments, as well as two cell sorters.

While working at Emory, Hulsey maintained the instruments, taught students how to use instruments, and operated the cell sorters on a daily basis. The core serviced approximately 200 users at any given time.
