SPICE UP YOUR BIOINFORMATICS SKILL SET WITH AI

Get familiar with AI tools Image-analysis algorithms help researchers to compare cell characteristics faster and more quantitatively than when they do the work manually; AI further accelerates the process through adaptive learning that is specific to the researcher's needs. According to Beth Cimini, CellProfiler's project lead, integrating deep learning into tools such as CellProfiler is the natural next step for image-based research. The European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton, UK, for example, hosts live training sessions, both in-person and online, for individuals and groups around the world. Virginie Uhlmann leads a bioimage-quantification research group at the EMBL-EBI, where she works on the design of AI programs for image analysis.
