Rachael has nearly 20 years of experience in flow cytometry and cell sorting and 14 years of working in flow cytometry core facilities. Rachael joined the core in September 2012, following 7 years running Flow Cytometry Core Facilities at the University of Cambridge.

Rachael has extensive experience in analysis and sorting cells of differing types including; immunology, cell biology, stem cell biology, large cells such as cardiomyocytes, c. elegans eggs; organelles such as nuclei. Rachael can provide expertise in experimental setup, optimisation and analysis. She can help with optimal instrument set up, post-acquisition analysis of data and preparing figures for papers.

Rachael studied Biomedical Material Sciences at the University of Birmingham, before completing her PhD in 2005 in Tissue Engineering from the University of Liverpool.  Tasked with learning to use a MoFlo cell sorter during her PhD, led Rachael to pursue Flow Cytometry as a career.
