Eva Orlowski-Oliver, SCYM(ASCP), is the Research Flow Core Manager at the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Her role involves educating, training, and supporting research staff who utilise flow cytometry technology. She also encourages her team to participate in society task forces, conduct Shared Resource Lab (SRL) experiments, and engage in continuous education and training to enhance their skills.

Eva's journey in flow cytometry began as a Research Assistant (RA) under Professor Mark Hogarth at the Burnet Institute. Over six years, she expanded her flow cytometry techniques by investigating novel markers on T-cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients. Following this, she held a dual role at St. Vincent Institute, serving as an RA involved in islet biology research and participating in the islet transplantation program. Additionally, she worked as a flow cytometrist in the facility's flow core under the guidance of Michael Thomson. This experience further fueled her passion for flow cytometry and working within a Shared Resource Laboratory (SRL). Seeking a full-time SRL position, she secured one at AMREP Flow, where she spent the next seven years. During this time, she had an exceptional teacher and mentor in Geza Paukovics, and she achieved certification as a flow cytometrist (specialist?), became an ISAC Emerging Leader, a mother of two, and an SRL assistant manager.

Eva is deeply committed to education and training. She is an active member of ISAC (International Society for Advancement of Cytometry) and has made publications in Cytometry A. She actively takes part in the SRL Recognition Program task force and the SRL Committee. Additionally, she contributes to ACS (Australasian Cytometry Society) workshops, virtual presentations, and conference committees. Eva believes in providing young students with opportunities to explore careers in science, often hosting them for site visits or work experience.
