For the love of immunology—explore with us at Immunology 2026 (AAI).
AAI is where immunologists gather to share data, challenge ideas, and explore new approaches to immune biology. Stop by our booth to see how our solutions—across reagents, instruments, software, and single‑cell workflows—work together to support more confident research.
Move through a series of stations, talk science with our team, and collect a free‑space sticker at each stop. Then, join us to play BINGO for a prize—while learning how better dyes, smarter panels, and integrated tools can strengthen your experiments.
Explore at your own pace and see how individual solutions come together to power what matters most in immunology research.
Exhibitor Workshops
More than just fluorescence: A step-by-step guide to high-dimensional cytometric analysis integrating spatial and morphological insights Serena Di Cecilia, PhD, EMEA Software Solutions Manager, Waters Biosciences, formerly BD Biosciences High‑dimensional cytometry is rapidly evolving beyond fluorescence. This workshop showcases the power of bioinformatics across an end‑to‑end workflow—from designing a multicolor panel in BD® Research Cloud using the automated Panel Maker to analyzing a 22‑color dataset with 38 image‑derived parameters generated on the BD FACSDiscover™ Platform with BD CellView™ Technology. Using FlowJo™ v11, we’ll highlight metadata organization, automated QC, streamlined annotation, and intuitive tools that help transform complex data into clear, publication‑ready results. | Thursday, April 16
Time: 1:45–2:30 p.m.
Location: Exhibitor Workshop Room #3 – Exhibit Hall A – Level 1 |
High‑resolution immune insights with spectral and imaging cytometry: From optimized panel performance to visualizing neutrophil–macrophage interactions in tumor
Understanding complex immune interactions requires strong experimental design and advanced cytometry. Bob Balderas will outline principles for building high‑performance spectral panels, showing how fluorochrome brightness, spillover, and pairing strategies enhance resolution of circulating human lymphocytes. Marie Siwicki will share insights into myeloid cell biology in the metastatic niche using intravital microscopy plus spectral and imaging flow cytometry to reveal neutrophil–CX3CR1⁺ macrophage interactions. Together, these talks show how modern spectral and imaging cytometry deepen immune understanding. | Friday, April 17
