A schedule for organizing international symposia

Posted by Robert Haase, on 5 September 2023

TL;DR: Coordinating an international conference can be a complex endeavor, especially for scientists whose primary focus often lies outside the realm of event management. A major challenge in this context is timing. In this blog post I outline a potential schedule of tasks for organizing an international conference such as the PoLBIAS23. As a senior

ASCB Subgroup: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Cell Imaging

Posted by Beth Cimini, on 17 July 2023

The deep learning revolution in bioimage analysis over the past ~5 years has been nothing short of awe-inspiring; in just a few short years we’ve gone from having very few deep learning tools usable on light microscopy images to new approaches coming out weekly and routinely outperforming older classical approaches. We can now use deep

From an early age, Carlos was attracted to science, and at age 15, with the help of his family, set up his own lab in his parent’s house.

"Beyond pretty pictures" subgroup at Cell Bio 2023

Posted by Assaf Zaritsky, on 6 July 2023

The traditional approach of learning cell biology simply by looking at microscopy images is becoming harder and is sometimes even not possible with the growing complexity, volume and dimensionality of modern microscopy imaging data. Data science, a field that combines techniques from machine learning, statistics and other computer science fields to extract meaning from unstructured
