Last but not least, we have @philippeandrey.bsky.social from @inrae-france.bsky.social with Practical session 7: "Statistical spatial analysis and modeling with BIP" 📊

We're learning about 💫BIP (Biological Image Processing)💫, the command-line 🖥️ #BioimageAnalysis solution from his lab.

... domain adaptation🔃, enhancers✨... How cool is that? 😎

Fynn Beuttenmüller is taking to the students during Practical session 6: "AI for Life Sciences", of the EMBO course on Advanced methods in bioimage analysis at EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany).

Thanks a lot, @ahklemm.bsky.social! It's tough to post on social networks while presenting 😜

I hope the students of the @embo.org course on Advanced methods in #BioimageAnalysis liked @biapyx.bsky.social 🤗

Anna Klemm @ahklemm.bsky.social · 21d

@iarganda.bsky.social also on the stage by himself, giving an introduction to BiaPy @biapyx.bsky.social for streamlining deep-learning workflows. A tool tailored to be convenient to use by the full range of bioimage analysis experts.

And now Fynn Beuttenmüller from @embl.org is showing us all the cool stuff behind the BioImage Model Zoo 🦒 and @ilastik-team.bsky.social 🖥️🎨

For instance, students learnt how to load and apply the @biapyx.bsky.social models from the zoo into @ilastik-team.bsky.social 😊 ...

First part of the session was dedicated to @biapyx.bsky.social, learning 🎓 about how to create #DeepLearning based workflows for #BioimageAnalysis tasks 🛠️

In particular, students got their hands on the notebook 📓 for 2D semantic segmentation:

After lunch 🍽️, we go back to work 🛠️ with Lecture 7: "Scientific AI and the future of OME-Zarr" by Matthew McCormick from @fideus-labs.bsky.social, USA.

We're learning about ngff-zarr and getting our hands on converting bioimages to OME-Zarr ✨

Christian Tischer is presenting Matthew McCormick from fideus labs (USA), who will talk online about "Scientific AI and the future of OME-Zarr" (presentation on screen).

Close look at the screens of our 2025 EMBO course. On the left one, we can see the online participants on Zoom, while on the right one we see the presentation by Matthew McCormick from fideus labs (USA), who's presenting a slide that reads "What can ngff-zarr do for you?".
