Call4Help: The image analysis help you have always dreamt of, totally for free!!! ???

After the success of the previous Call4Help session in February, BII (BioImage Informatics, the great image analysis at SciLife Uppsala) and your favorite microscopy facility (we hope) will run a new Call4Help next Tuesday 2nd of April.

Anyone who is stuck with image analysis and wishes for quick help can apply.

These are 100% online sessions (we ‘meet’ in a Zoom chat room) where you submit your images and a little explanation text in advance and you get suggestions for 30 min and an analysis pipeline all done for you (Fiji, CellProfiler, Ilastik, QuPath, KNIME)!

If you are interested, please apply as soon as possible (sorry for the late announcement).

Here is how to apply: https://www.scilifelab.se/facilities/bioimage-informatics/

Lots of Image analysis courses in Uppsala! :)

Biovis is the image facility at Uppsala University, just a stone-throw away from us. Every year, they run several Image analysis courses, from short introductions to full blown courses.

Have a look here!

Image Analysis Call4help on 14th of feb!

The image analysis help you have always dreamt of, totally for free!!! ???

Deadline 6th of feb!

First SciLifeLab BioImage Informatics call4help zoom session

On the 14th February 2019, 10:00 – 12:00 the SciLifeLab BioImage Informatics Facility is organizing an online support session on BioImage Analysis (“call4help” session).

How does it work?

Each selected participant gets a 15 min slot. You have 5 min to present your problem. It is mainly about showing the scientific context, representative input images, describing desired output measurements, and giving a brief statement about what was done before. The remaining 10 min we will brainstorm together on the possible solution(s), discuss tools, techniques, etc.

The Bioimage Informatics Facility can provide further support, if needed. We are happy to announce that Sylvie Le Guyader, Live Cell Imaging Facility, KI, Huddinge, is joining the session as microscopy expert.

How can I participate?

Step1:

Prepare a presentation – use this template for your presentation:

Step2:

a) Upload your presentation to this google drive:

b) AND send an e-mail to anna.klemm@it.uu.se until 6th February 2019.

Step 3:

Join this zoom-session.

If your problem is selected for presentation, you will get a time-slot of 15 minutes within the session (14th February 2019, 10:00 – 12:00). If not, you are welcome to join the discussion anyway!

What are the Deadlines

Submission of a problem: until 6th February 2019

Notification about participation: 8th February 2019

Session: 14th February 2019, 10:00 – 12:00

Participants

Call4Help format

The call4help format was initially developed by ScopeM, ETH Zürich.

Image analysis primer or more!

Registrations are open now for 2 fantastic ways to reach the stars with your image analysis:

Ready? Get set! Go! 🙂

LCI microscopy course vintage 2019! :)

The Live Cell Imaging facility is back with its intensive microscopy course! In 2018 we moved to a new building so there was no course but we will strike again in Jan-Feb 2019!!You will definitely learn tons at our course. Have a look at the program and judge for yourself.

As usual we run 2 courses in parallel:

#2870, 6 points, is the full course with all lectures, workshops, demos… This will run 22/jan-08 feb, 3 days/week 9:00-17:15.

#2871, 4.5 points, is the same minus some workshops and demos. This course will run at the same dates but 10:00-15:00.

The rest of the time is used for home assignments.

All lectures are open to the public without any registration so tell your colleagues!

Course applications are open from today and until the 15th of November. The full course (2870) has only 16 spots available so just go for it NOW! 🙂

 

A fixable membrane dye that doesn’t do flip flop!

One of the major pains with membrane dyes for live cells is that within 30min, all the vesicles inside the cells are also labelled. Another major pain is when you discover that your dye is not fixable…

The CellBright dyes label membrane is apparently fixable, even with methanol, and doesn’t do the flip flop thing! Potentially extremely useful for image analysis!

Please leave a comment to let us know how it went for you! 🙂

Seminar by Anne Carpenter, the ‘mother’ of CellProfiler

If you are looking for an inspiring talk about a super freeware for image analysis, go to Scilife in Uppsala on the 8th of June and listen to Anne Carpenter from the Broad Institute where CellProfiler was born! Check out the details here.

Neubias workshop for image analysis at the heart of Scotland!

Here is where to register for the next Neubias, the European Image Analysis school! Learn how to build your own image analysis pipeline with expert help! 🙂

Only a few days left to register!

How to kill your fear of image analysis?

Neubias is a European effort to get biologists comfortable with image analysis. conferences (Hungary, Jan 2018), courses, facility staff training, ‘biologists meet analysts’ meetings… They have it all!

Now this is your chance to learn and get help to analyze images for your microscopy project! Check the Neubias conference and courses in Hungary!

And if you would like to work with microscopy in the future, remember to join the ELMI (European Light Microscopy Initiative) so you get all their job announcements! 🙂

Image analysis job in Uppsala! :)

Up to three postdoc and researcher positions in Computerized Image Processing, Scientific Computing, and Bioinformatics in Uppsala

Do you want to develop new, intelligent ways of processing and managing very large amounts of microscopy images in order to leverage the imminent explosion of information from modern experimental setups in the biosciences? Join the recently started  interdisciplinary research project Hierarchical Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Data (HASTE) within the research groups of Prof. Carolina Wählby, Assoc. Prof. Andreas Hellander, Department of Information Technology, and Assoc. Prof. Ola Sjuth, Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, Uppsala University, Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab), Vironova AB and AstraZeneca AB, Sweden.

More information and instructions for how to apply can be found here (Postdoc: If your PhD degree was obtained after 2014-05-23) or here (Researcher: If your PhD was obtained before 2014-05-23).

Deadline for application: 2017-05-23. Note that all applications need to be submitted though the online recruitment system.
