Event Details

Purpose

This hybrid workshop seeks to provide a forum for in-depth discussions on imaging, spatial mapping and analysis methods, examining strengths, limitations, and their applicability in the practical realm of identifying tissue function or dysfunction. The workshop is structured to promote the cross-pollination of ideas from computational and optical scientists, biologists, pathologists, disease domain experts, and machine learning experts, focusing on developing practical knowledge for the community.

Meeting Objectives

  1. Perspectives on Advanced Techniques for Identifying Cells from Image Data
  2. Examine Approaches to Segmentation 
  3. Discuss Classification of Cells Across Health States
  4. Omics Data Integration
  5. Promote Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
  6. Showcase Cutting-Edge Machine Learning Applications
  7. Identify Future Research Directions

By addressing these objectives, the workshop aims to advance knowledge, foster collaboration, and promote the innovative use of technology in the study of healthy and disease conditions.

Background

Biological research is experiencing exponential growth, amassing vast quantities of data from pathological images, various molecular datasets, and advanced imaging techniques. The complexity of this data presents significant challenges for researchers endeavoring to integrate these high-dimensional data sets and identify key biological mechanisms.  This workshop will address challenges in the field associated with integration of imaging data and various molecular approaches.  Specifically, this workshop will tackle the obstacles associated with cell identification from imaging data, the identification of biological processes informed by omics data alongside imaging-derived features, and how to leverage AI/ML for enhanced imaging and data analytics.   This workshop will discuss the prevalent challenges faced in the analysis and integration of imaging data, discuss relevant standards and benchmarks, and showcase strategies beneficial to the scientific community.
