Cellular Phenotyping Platform
Dr. Claire Conche
Aim
The Cellular Phenotyping Platform (formerly known as the Immunomonitoring Platform) provides advanced tools and methodologies to investigate immune responses, with a special focus on solid cancers.
Our expertise includes deep immunophenotyping using high-parameter (>30) spectral flow cytometry to analyze patient samples.
In addition, we offer cell sorting capabilities, enabling the isolation of specific immune cell subsets for downstream applications.
We have extensive experience in developing customized in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo assays tailored to study the activities and functions of immune cells.
Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
