1. She was unofficially the first woman to attend CalTech. Though she was permitted to audit classes fulltime and received letter grades (all As in her case), she did not get a degree because CalTech did not admit woman at that time.
2. She received a doctorate in Immunology from the University Paris V Sorbonne, and is currently the endowed chair of flow cytometry and genetics at Stanford University.
3. She and her husband together developed the first FACS instrument.

VERLOTM Early Access
We are looking for scientific thought leaders and technology enthusiasts who are in the Stem Cell Research & Development or Flow Cytometry industries and want early, exclusive access to an innovative product at the forefront of image-guided cell sorting technology, before it is made available to the general market.
The third generation of microfluidic cartridges had been developed! In this tech note, learn more about how the post-sort viability and sorting efficiency of the new cartridges were verified.
Happy cells = good science! High-pressure conditions of traditional FACS are known to damage cells, leading to cellular stress and decreased viability. NanoCellect’s low-pressure microfluidics systems purify target populations based on size and fluorescence parameters while maintaining high viability for wherever you send them next.
Stem cells were sorted based on expression of SSEA-4 and TRA-1-60-R, markers of undifferentiated stem cells. Stem cells that were double positive for those markers were gated in the upper righthand quadrant, and those cells were then bulk sorted. Not only was the viability of the cells maintained post-sort, the purity of the cells expressing the markers of undifferentiation was 92.8%. The post-sort stem cells were then able to grow into healthy colonies. To learn more, check out our application note!
In a new study out of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, researchers uncovered the ways that the bacterium Streptococcus anginosus promotes tumorigenesis in gastric cancer patients. The WOLF Cell Sorter was used to sort live dissociated tumor cells into two groups - immune cells and non-immune cells- before proceeding with 10x Genomics single cell sequencing.
New Publication in Nature
Genetic transcription factors are found to be involved in the regulation of macrophage behavior in the brain that, if unchecked, can cause damage to brain tissue associated with Alzheimer's Disease in a new study out of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Using the WOLF cell sorter, researchers successfully sorted CRISPR/Cas-9 edited iPSCs onto 96 well plates to generate iPSC lines with the transcription factors of interest knocked out.
