What would Plato say about systems biology? In his Allegory of the Cave, prisoners can only see shadows on a wall and so they have a distorted reality. Also our measurements of genes, RNAs, proteins & metabolites are the shadows, not the reality of the complex biological systems.

🗨️ WANNA TALK TO YOUR CELLS? Try out CellWhisperer – our new multimodal AI that turns single-cell RNA-seq analysis into a conversation. No coding needed, just chat in plain English. Short walkthrough below. Web app & bioRxiv preprint linked in the thread. Let's dive in! (1/9)

Are you ready to apply deep learning-based methods to your data and image analysis problems? If you've already trained a network in your own code, this is for you! #EMBLDeepLearning 🗓️ 17 – 21 February 2025 📍 EMBL Heidelberg 📩 Apply by 25 November ➡️ s.embl.org/mac25-01

We are hiring! The data is ready, the servers are waiting, come join us!

People think my old PI is Kanye 😂

@bengallusser Amazing work!!! Congrats! 🎉

Excited to share Trackastra, our new study on generalizable data-driven cell tracking. We use a lean transformer to learn costs for linking up segmented cells into lineages. - Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2405.15700 - Napari plugin with first pretrained models: github.com/weigertlab/nap…

We have a fantastic project in collaboration with the best marine biologists studying weird and beautiful critters with EM and deep representation learning. Please, please, please, apply, or send your best students my way!

Having met @jesswade this summer in Munich finally pushed me to create @Wikipedia articles to highlight women in science - Learn more about @IlariaTesta4 @JenCWaters @UEndesfelder @Melike_Lak @postacademia @GalbraithLab Julia Mahamid @GaiaPigino @ilastik_team 😀💪👇 1/10

We are very excited to present a major breakthrough achievement – the de novo design of synthetic enhancers for selected tissues in fruit fly embryos in vivo using deep- and transfer learning, @deAlmeida_BPet al published today in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…. Thread 👇(1/N)

The course website for the spring EMBO DL4MIA course launched today and registration is therefore now open!!! meetings.embo.org/event/24-deep-… The goal of the course is to familiarize life science researchers with state-of-the-art DL techniques for microscopy image analysis! 🧐 👍 🧑‍🎓

🦓 Self-supervised multimodal ML is promising the next AI breakthrough - in our new work published in @Nature, we debut @CEBRAai: for self-supervised hypothesis- and discovery-driven science. 📝 doi.org/10.1038/s41586… 💻github.com/AdaptiveMotorC… 🦓 cebra.ai 🧵⬇️

How can machine learning help you to analyze your microscopy images? Find out at the "Deep Learning for Microscopy Image Analysis" course at the @MBLScience in Woods Hole from Aug 21-Sep 5! Applications are due 🚨 May 18 🚨 Read on for more! 👇 mbl.edu/education/adva…

This summer, EMBL will host once again the Lautenschläger Summer School, an exciting programme to introduce students from non-biology backgrounds to the dynamic interdisciplinary world of life science research. More info: embl.org/about/info/und… Register by: 23 Apr 2023

We present #Zebrahub: a timecourse atlas of zebrafish embryonic development, combining #scRNAseq time-course data with #lightsheet live imaging. Explore our seq. and imaging datasets interactively at biorxiv.org/content/10.110… zebrahub.org 1/n

What an honor that our #BrillouinMicroscopy work @embl has made this distinguished list - check out No. 7!! Congratulations to the entire team 🥳 theguardian.com/science/2022/d…

@Sci_Wanderlust Coolest job ever 🥶 congrats!!

So - exciting news! Next week I start a new postdoc at the British Museum in London! Looking forward to doing image analysis on ancient egyptian animal mummies 🥳

Amazing news!! Congratulations to Anton, Alain and John - long awaited and so well deserved. I am especially happy for Anton, my #PhDAdvisor, from who I've learned how to ask fundamental, and forward-looking questions. So many good memories. Today we celebrate! 😀🍾🥳🇦🇹

I am moving to Heidelberg in a few weeks! I will spend the next 3.5 years at @embl for my PhD studies. I'm super-excited to join @ilastik_team to continue implementing deep learning solutions for microscopy. maybe explore mixing it with gene expression🧬? 🧐
