Freyer, PhD is a Founder and the Chief Science Officer of BennuBio Inc. Trained as a Biophysicist, Dr. Freyer is a former director of the NIH National Flow Cytometry Resource (NFCR) and leader of the flow cytometry team at LANL, with 45 years of experience in flow cytometry instrumentation development and application (e.g. development of a fluorescence lifetime flow cytometer). This experience includes serving as Director of six previous iterations of the Annual Course in Flow Cytometry, hosted both at the NFCR in Los Alamos and at the University of New Mexico. Jim also has 45 years of experience in the field of tumor biology, focused on the use of multicellular spheroids as an in vitro model of tumors. His work has focused on the response of cells to the stressful microenvironment within spheroids, including the development of several novel techniques (e.g. development of an automated method for isolating cells from different regions within spheroids). Jim has secured continuous funding from NIH since 1984, including research grants, technology development programs and small business funding.<\/p>\n<p>For the past 5 years, Dr. Freyer has served as CSO of BennuBio Inc, a start-up that is commercializing multistream flow cytometry using acoustic particle focusing (the Velocyt\u2122). One (among many) advantage of this approach is that it allows analysis of a wide range of particle sizes, including intact multicellular spheroids. Although Dr. Freyer first demonstrated analysis and sorting of spheroids by flow cytometry in 1987, the capabilities of the Velocyt\u2122 provide both standard flow measurements as well as images of each spheroid up to 250 mm in diameter. Jim is very excited to be able to combine his experience in spheroids and flow cytometry to use the power of this new technology to expand the applications of spheroids in a variety of fields.<\/p>\n<p>On the personal side, Jim is married with three grown children and four granddaughters that he simply adores (that\u2019s Riley Lynn above), along with two rescue dogs that are endlessly entertaining. Jim lives in the NM high desert, which provides ample opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, kyaking and camping. For the past 35 years, Jim has been an avid alpine skier and a member of the National Ski Patrol working at Pajarito Mountain in northern New Mexico. Other hobbies include wood working, gardening, volunteer firefighting and nature photography.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1393px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;David Galbraith&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/conferences.union.wisc.edu\/flowcytometry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/03\/galbraith.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; border_radii_image=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Univeristy of Arizona<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>David Galbraith, PhD<\/h2>\n<p>Born in Oxford, England, I was trained as an undergraduate and graduate student (BA, MA, PhD), at Cambridge University and as a NATO postdoctoral associate at Stanford.

After graduating with a Biology BS from University of Florida in 1992, I then worked in the Applied Research Division at Coulter, being involved in assay development and technologies related to cytometry and other scientific instrumentation until 1998. After a yearlong round the world surfing sabbatical, I then relocated to San Diego to join the Flow Core at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. The TSRI Core Facility earned a reputation for collaborative development and testing new technologies under flow guru Joseph Trotter. Here the first digital analyzers and sorters were evaluated and in 2001, Joe moved to work in BD Biosciences while I became Acting Director of the Core and then eventually Director in 2002. The Core continued testing new technologies and pushing the envelope with new instrumentation and advanced applications. Education has always been a priority, and I became involved in teaching by presenting various lectures and tutorials at CYTO and then becoming part of the CYTO Live Education Task Force in 2010-2020. This gave me the opportunity to teach cytometry in emerging areas (including China, India, Turkey, South Africa, and the US) with a group of amazing colleagues. The TSRI flow core was one of the early adopters of spectral technology and has continued assessing and evaluating new spectral technologies and as well continuing to support researchers in the San Diego area. In 2021 I was promoted to Sr. Scientific Director and have enjoyed training and working with new cytometrists and helping advance the science at The Scripps Research Institute. I am genuinely looking forward to joining the Annual Course in Flow Cytometry as an instructor and repaying the favor (as I last attended this same course in 2001 as a participant).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1393px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Vince Shankey &#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/conferences.union.wisc.edu\/flowcytometry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/04\/Vince-Shankey.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||15px|false|false&#8221; border_radii_image=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221;][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; width=&#8221;97.1%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Vince Shankey<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. T.
