'How they started with Euro-BioImaging & Global BioImaging (GBI) ?'

Posted by Mai Rahmoon, on 14 September 2023

As a continuation to the series of blogs called “how it started…”, where we shed light on the journey through the origins of various imaging communities around the world, we speak to Euro-BioImaging and GBI. Our mission for this series is simple yet powerful – by learning about the visions and goals of these communities,

‘How it (they) started with the Advanced Imaging Center (AIC)?’

Posted by Mai Rahmoon, on 21 July 2023

A series going behind the scenes to unveil the captivating origins of imaging communities and centers. I will unravel the stories that brought these hubs of innovation and discovery into existence. Behind every iconic center or community lies a tale of visionaries, pioneers, and passionate individuals who devoted their lives to pushing the boundaries of

The story behind ZeroCostDL4Mic, or How to get started with using Deep Learning for your microscopy data

Posted by Romain Laine, on 18 January 2021

We all hear again and again about Deep Learning (DL), how great it is, how it’s going to revolutionise science, engineering, medicine and work. But where and how is this all happening? If you wonder how you could get started on thinking, let alone using DL on your microscopy data, look no further, we have

Our featured image, acquired by Rohit Nautiyal, shows a monolayer of brain endothelial cells seeded on a glass substrate coated with fibronectin. The cells were fixed and stained for ZO-1 (LUT- Red Hot) to visualize the tight junctions and actin (LUT-blue). The image was captured with a spinning disk confocal microscope and post-processed with Fiji

Interviews and researchers' testimonies from Biologists @ 100

Posted by Margarida Araujo, on 8 May 2025

During the Biologists @ 100 conference, we conducted and recorded interviews with a few researchers to get to know their work better, collecting their testimonies and feedback about the conference. At the end of the interview, researchers were asked to get their picture taken with a ‘polaroid frame’ and write a few keywords about their

Highlighting signalling biosensors 1.

Posted by Greg Redpath, on 16 January 2025

Why there is interest in signalling biosensors, considerations for using biosensors, and the original biosensor, GFP. Why write about signalling biosensors? In my first postdoctoral position, I was introduced to the concept of endosomal signalling- a way for receptor signalling outcomes to be changed by delivering a signal to different regions of the cell. I
