About this Research Topic
The workshop is presented by the Indiana University NIH O’Brien Center for Advanced Renal Microscopy as part of its educational mission to provide kidney researchers with training in advanced forms of microscopy. Although the focus of the O’Brien Center is on kidney research, the workshop is more broadly focused on new developments in microscopy and image analysis.
Day 1; June 7 - "Overview of the Indiana O’Brien Center."
Members of the Center will describe microscopy technology advances as applied to renal research and the services that are available to investigators through the center.
Day 2; June 8 - “Large Scale Tissue Cytometry”.
Leaders in this rapidly evolving field will describe how they combine imaging with automated digital image analysis to characterize hundreds of thousands of cells and interactions in biological tissues.
Day 3; June 9 - “New Paradigms in Image and Data Analysis in Biological Microscopy”.
Experts in the field of biological image analysis will describe how techniques such as machine learning, cloud computing , and crowd-sourcing are being leveraged to quantify and explore biological image data.
Day 4; June 10 -“New Approaches to Large-scale and High-content Microscopy”.
Leaders in the field will describe how they are extending the scale of light microscopy through tissue clearing and light sheet microscopy, and novel methods to expand the dimensions of microscopy to thousands of protein, DNA and RNA targets.
We expect the online audience to include basic biomedical researchers who use imaging in their research as well as experts in biomedical imaging. This Research Topic is not only open to the participants of this workshop but also to researchers who work on biomedical imaging.
