General Information

Automated microscopy technologies have amplified the volume and complexity of image data such that biologists must rely on computer scientists for solutions and software. Fiji provides a huge variety of advanced image analysis solutions and a friendly user interface for researchers to develop innovative, cutting-edge pipelines for biological image analysis.

In this workshop, we will introduce basic concepts of image analysis and intermediate workflows using Fiji. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to automate the bulk your image analysis, making it faster, more consistent and reproducible. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

Who: The course is aimed at graduate students and other researchers who want to use Fiji for image processing. Visitors from other institutions are welcome to participate. You don't need to have any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented at the workshop.

Where: This training will take place online. The instructors will provide you with the information you will need to connect to this meeting.

When: Apr 28, May 5, 12 & 19, 2022. Add to your Google Calendar.
