Interview with Helena Chmelová, Ph.D. from the Light Microscopy Core facility at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself – where you work, what your research focus is? I work at the Light Microscopy Core Facility at the Institute 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

A career path to bioimage analysis

Posted by Laurent Thomas, on 9 December 2020

I am currently working in Heidelberg, Germany, finishing my PhD thesis between the medical university of Heidelberg and the microscopy company ACQUIFER. My research project is dedicated to the development of user-oriented software solutions (Fiji plugins, KNIME workflows…) to facilitate the handling and analysis of large microscopy datasets of 2D images. The project is motivated

A new bioimaging technical talk series - your opinions please!

Posted by Georgina Fletcher, on 18 August 2020

The RMS and BioImagingUK would like to organise a new series of short talks on the practical side of bioimaging techniques. One of the few upsides of the pandemic has been the availability of excellent talks online, however few have focused on the hands on work of running imaging experiments. Therefore we think this series
