Sarah Croswell
Sarah has a BS from Miami University in Microbiology and Creative Writing. She began working with the core facility in 2007, and provides training for and maintains the flow cytometers in the Research Flow Cytometry Core (RFCC). She received formal training on the LSRII and in the use of FACSDiVa. She is also fluent in CellQuest Pro and is available for troubleshooting the flow cytometers.
Tristan Bourdeau
Tristan has a BS in Cellular Biology from the University of Sciences of Nantes and an MS in Immunotechnology from the University of La Mediterranee in Marseille, France. In 2008, he joined the RFCC as a sorter operator and received formal training on the BD FACSAria II. Tristan is also proficient at operating the BD LSRII, BD FACSCanto and provides training on the Amnis ImageStream. He is fluent at using FACSDiVa, FlowJo and IDEAS software and is available for consultation in designing experiments using multi-color flow cytometry.
Xiaoling Zhang
Xiaoling Zhang has an MD from Shanghai Medical School and an MS from Shanghai Second Medical School, Shanghai, China. She joined the RFCC in 2009 as a sorter operator and was formally trained on the BD FACSAria II. She has experience with hematopoietic stem cell, cell cycle and apoptosis analysis and is proficient at operating the FACSCanto and using FACSDiVa and CellQuest Pro software.
Monica DeLay
Monica has a BS and an MS from the Department of Biology at the University of Cincinnati. In 2008 she joined the RFCC as manager as well as cell sorter operator. Monica is proficient at using the FACSCalibur, LSRII, FACSCanto and has been formally trained on the FACSAria II. She is fluent at using CellQuest Pro and FACSDiVa and is available for consultation in designing experiments using multi-color flow cytometry. Monica also plans and organizes the RFCC User Meetings so if you have a suggestion for a future topic, please email her at monica.delay@cchmc.org.
Sherry Thornton
Dr. Thornton received a PhD in 1997 from the Molecular and Developmental Biology graduate program at Cincinnati Children’s. Upon appointment to Assistant Professor in 2002, Dr. Thornton became assistant flow core director for the Rheumatology Center Grant (NIHP30). Three years later, she became director of this core and serves in this capacity to date. In the last year, she has taken on a larger role in flow cytometry at CCHMC and is now Director of the Research Flow Cytometry Core, which houses all flow cytometry instrumentation involved in basic research. Dr. Thornton also serves as a sorter operator and has been formally trained on the FACSAria II.
