When the collaboration makes it out of the joint lab meeting

Posted by Elizabeth-Ann Legere, on 3 October 2024

I am incredibly grateful to The Company of Biologists (Journal of Cell Science) for funding my three-week research collaboration with the lab of Dr. Gabriel Galea at University College London (UCL). My research in Dr. Aimee Ryan’s lab uses chick embryos to examine cell morphogenetic changes and protein localization patterns during neural tube development, the

Structural Repetition Detector (SReD): quantitative mapping of molecular complexes through microscopy

Posted by Afonso Mendes, on 23 September 2024

Unbiased, multi-dimensional, multi-scale and GPU-accelerated analysis of structural patterns across all microscopy modalities From biomolecules to larger assemblies and cellular architectures, molecular structures govern biological processes. Identifying these repetitive patterns is essential to understand their functions and the underlying biological mechanisms. While microscopy offers molecular-level detail, manually detecting structural motifs is labor-intensive, susceptible to bias,

Prompt Engineering in Bio-image Analysis

Posted by Mara Lampert, on 18 July 2024

Prompt engineering and its importance Communication is key. This saying is not only true in day-to-day life, but also when interacting with Generative Artificial Intelligence, a system able to generate text, images or other output types in response to prompts. In prompt engineering, we use natural language to describe the task that a Large Language
