🚨🔬🤖🚀 #PhotoFiTT is out! With Jacquemet's & @P_Matos_Pereira's labs, we launched a new quantitative phototoxicity measurement for live microscopy using cellular clocks⏱️. By rockstars @_mariod @gomez_mariscal et al! AI-powered + label-free readouts doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

1/ 🚀 Excited to release: napari-mcp - agentic control of napari from any MCP-capable AI assistant! Use it for interactive image processing, analysis, and visualisation! Really cool project from @ilan_theodoro in my team! #napari #bioimageanalysis #MCP @biohub

#IMS2026 D1 finishes with great @HenriquesLab and Guillaume Jacquemet pushing the limits of live-cell super-resolution, democratizing AI and quantitative microscopy, and using all these to study cancer cell transmigration and attachment 🌟

Students and postdocs from @HenriquesLab and Pedro Pereira's lab shining at #IMS2026 with intracellular infection, bacteriophages, expansion microscopy and lung on a chip🔥

@EMBO young Investigator annual meeting just started!!🌟 What a honour to be here and share some of our work around #DL4Mic 🔬🖥️👾

Wuhuuuu!!

Absolutely delighted to share that we’ve been awarded by @wellcometrust with amazing collaborators John Barr, Juan Fontana & Martin Stacey! 🚀 An exciting adventure studying #bunyavirus viral factories with cutting-edge techniques is about to startI! 🔬🧪🦠🧬💻🌟

Last days to register for 𝐈𝐌𝐒𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 organized by @itqbnova. DON´T miss these amazing researchers on 19/03: Seamus Holden, Cecile Morlot, Guillaume Jacquemet, @sara_spereira, Helder Maiato @i3S_UPorto, Mariana Pinho, Catarina Pinho, @HenriquesLab 🔗:ims2026.itqbnovacommunity.org

Congrats to Sam in their paper

Huge kudos to the team: the brainchild of Bruno Saraiva, with contributions from Iván Hidalgo-Cenalmor, António Brito, Damián Martínez, and Tayla Shakespeare! 🙌 We built this to simplify how we interact with our own tools. Hope you find it useful too! 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2601.08859

We also needed something flexible for AI workflows 🤖. With EZInput, you get cross-environment support: same code, same interface. It works as a widget in Jupyter/Colab OR as a TUI in the terminal. 🖥️ Perfect for prototyping and then accelerating experimentation on the cluster 🚀

📯👨‍🚀 Calling all #bioimage analysis aficionados. #EZInput is out! We wanted to bring #ImageJ’s capacity to record settings to the #Python ecosystem 🐍. It is a declarative library for generating UIs that just work. Done with Guillaume Jacquemet's lab arxiv.org/abs/2601.08859

Emotional - Uri Manor @manorlaboratory was so wonderfully open and an inspiration to listen to on #TheMicroscopists Uri opens up about growing up with profound hearing loss and how, despite wanting nothing to do with becoming a scientist, a winding path through baseball, music, and restaurant work eventually led him back to physics and then biology.

Congratulations to the newest PhD graduate at our lab, supervised by @HenriquesLab, now Dr. Afonso Mendes @afonsomendes92!👨🏼‍🎓👏 His research work culminated in the publication of #SReD in @NatureComms. Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4146… @GIMM_Institute @itqbnova @NOVAunl

#Linux and #Windows (using wsl), if you have #pipx you can just: # Install pipx install rxiv-maker # Verify rxiv check-installation # Create test manuscript rxiv init test-paper cd test-paper # Generate PDF rxiv pdf

If you want to give it a try and you're using #MacOs with #brew, its as easy as running: # Install brew tap henriqueslab/formulas brew install rxiv-maker # Create test manuscript rxiv init test-paper cd test-paper # Generate PDF rxiv pdf

🚀📰 End-of-year news for #RxivMaker =). Now it generates both #pdf and #docx from #markdown. Easier to collaborate on document for non-markdown users, making it simple to loop back to #RxivMaker and get professional-looking #preprint Preprint updated: arxiv.org/abs/2508.00836

🧬🔬🤖@itqbnova has 15 BRIDGE fellowships for Master's graduates pursuing PhDs! We have a spot: "Decoding the morphological language of infection using AI". Build AI to map how viruses hijack cells & bacteria survive antibiotics. Deadline: 05/01/26 itqb.unl.pt/education/brid…
