Flow Cytometry: First Principles, 2nd Edition

Alice Givan was born in Brooklyn, N.Y.. She received her A.B. at Bryn Mawr College and her Ph.D. at Harvard University. After completing her formal education, she moved to the north of England where, at Newcastle University Medical School, she learned flow cytometry with an instrument that was being used for the development of methods to predict and monitor rejection reactions in transplant patients. After 20 years in England, Alice Givan moved back to the United States and is now Director of the Herbert C. Englert Cell Analysis Laboratory (the flow cytometry and fluorescence imaging resource of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center) at Dartmouth Medical School. She also organizes and teaches courses and workshops for new flow cytometrists.
