About us

The Imperial Flow Cytometry Facility at Hammersmith campus became active in January 2025 in the refurbished Victor Phillip Dahdaleh building, resulting from the merger between the Imperial facility that closed at St Mary's campus and the Imperial part of the previously joint facility with MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS).

This core facility is part of the Faculty of Medicine - Department of Immunology and Inflammation, but it is a resource open to all researchers at Imperial, as well as external users. We also work together with the South Kensington Flow Cytometry Facility to provide consistent support across campuses. All of our equipment is bookable using an online calendar system.

We offer hands-on practical training, as well as seminars and workshops.

We welcome feedback from our user committee and we discuss recommendations for facility policy and priorities with our scientific steering committee.
