We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our interdisciplinary team at the University of Birmingham to develop “An AI-driven Automated Platform for High-Throughput 5D Fluorescence Imaging and Data Analysis Applied to Cell Signalling and Drug Discovery”.
The project is funded by a Wellcome Trust Bioimaging Technology Development Award (Foundation Phase). The project is led by Prof. Davide Calebiro and Dr Hector Basevi, Department of Metabolism and Systems Science, Prof. Ales Leonardis, School of Computer Science, and Dr Edalat Radfar, COMPARE Advanced Imaging Facility, and is part of our efforts to democratise access to advanced microscopy through innovative solutions for remote access and automation such as those we developed as part of Midlands Open Bioimaging.
