Teaching co-localisation analysis from lecture to leisure

Posted by Romain Guiet, on 20 October 2024

The origin There was one thing I was always skeptical about: colocalization analysis. When I started out as a BioImage Analyst, it was one of the first things I had to help users with in the BIOP at EPFL. I started learning more about it (and still continue to do so), tried with my own

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
