Excited to share our new paper using explainable #AI to learn models of complex cell behavior -- including cell competition -- which we can apply to image-based drug screening. Check out the paper here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @G_Charras #bioimageanalysis #imagingthefuture

Super excited to share our new method: Context-dependent Identification of Spatial Motifs (CISM)! 🚀 A two-step approach for uncovering fine-scale intercellular modules associated with human disease states from single-cell spatial data. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 🧵 1/n

🚨🚨 MEGA JOB ALERT 🚨🚨 Independent Group Leader Positions in Computational Biology @humantechnopole! Are you ready to start your own lab? Do you know someone who is? Repost this + share with everyone who might want to know about it. Thanks!!! 🙏 More details below... 🧵 1/3

“AI has the potential to revolutionize cell biology, and cell biologists will play an essential role in driving this revolution,” say @ambrosejcarr, @JCoolScience, @Tkaraletsos, @DrDonghuiLi, @quantumjot, @Stephani_Otte, and @slschmid_CZB. 👀paper: molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… /3

I've moved over to Bluesky 🦋

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

@loicaroyer @jobragantini Congrats! Looking forward to reading this

📡🧵 Excited to release our preprint: Ultrack: Pushing the Limits of Cell Tracking Across Biological Scales doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… A tour-de-force by @jobragantini, #Ultrack is a versatile, highly accurate, and fast ILP-based cell tracking software for 2D, 3D, and multicolor datasets. It has convenient @napari_imaging and @FijiSc plugin interfaces and built-in HPC cluster support. github.com/royerlab/ultra… #cell_tracking #microscopy #devbio @czbiohub

🚨 Job Alert! Want to help build the next generation of #AI-powered #bioimaging models? At @cziscience, the AI/ML team is building one of the largest computing systems dedicated to nonprofit life science research in the world. boards.greenhouse.io/chanzuckerberg…

WebAtlas for visualising single cell & spatial data online is out: rdcu.be/dRsKu With @Muzz_Haniffa @BioinfoTongLI @Dave_Horsfall+co, we aimed to open up sc/spatial data to biologists & clinicians without coding experience/infrastructure. Rambling🧵on why this matters

🆕 in CZ #CellxGene Explorer: support for spatial transcriptomics datasets! Learn more below + try it out with one of 400+ curated datasets ​​➡️ bit.ly/3Agi7MX [1/4]

Whoop whoop! We are live! 🥳 You can now register for #I2K2024! events.humantechnopole.it/event/1/ 🚨 Due to limited space, we will first accept only those who have previously submitted an abstract or a workshop. Later we will fill the remaining slots with others who signed up until then.

I'm excited to announce that I have joined @ChanZuckerberg as Director of AI for imaging

One of my favourite leaving gifts, from a former student, was a limited edition physical copy of their PhD thesis entirely typeset in COMIC SANS

@HenriquesLab This getz me every time

Question to native English speakers - it often happens that non-native (like I) will mix UK-english and US-english (e.g s's and z's) in academic text. Do you notice it? Does it matter?

Today, accepted @eccvconf submissions were announced. Hope you made the cut! 🤞 If you did not and your work happens to be on bio image data… consider submitting to BIC! This WS really became a quite useful venue in the past years! bioimagecomputing.com/call-for-paper… Please RT! 🙏

@martweig @bengallusser Congratulations!

Just accepted at ECCV 24 🎉🎉 big congrats to @bengallusser ! Milano in autumn it is then...

One week left to apply! This is a great opportunity to develop a cutting-edge research program in bioimage analysis and computer vision together with world-leading developmental biology and image-based systems biology pioneers. jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…

I’m very proud that #cellPLATO is published in @J_Cell_Sci, A cell migration time-lapse analysis tool that has been a long time in the making. Thanks to @mshanj @mace_em @ShiraEisman @quantumjot journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

Today marks my last day @ucl and @turinginst, where I had the privelege to build my experimental and computational research groups. It's been an adventure made thoroughly enjoyable by the fantastic students, researchers and colleagues at both institutions. #newadventure
