Introduction to image analysis

event icon
Date
21.10.24 - 22.10.24
Where
The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK

This two-day event, led by experienced core facility staff from the Francis Crick Institute and King's College London, offers a practical approach to mastering quantitative image analysis and workflow automation, essential for advancing research across multiple domains

The workshop aims to bridge the gap between advanced microscopy data generation and the computational skills required for its analysis. By leveraging open-source tools like Fiji and napari, participants will learn to automate image analysis, enhancing the precision, efficiency, and reproducibility of their research.

With a mix of theoretical sessions and hands-on experience, the programme aims to deepen the delegates' understanding of image analysis and enable them to apply their newly acquired knowledge in research settings.
The event is aimed primarily at group leaders, core facility staff and postdoctoral researchers. Ideal participants are those with a minimum three to five years' experience in a research environment, with a basic knowledge of image acquisition. Some knowledge of coding would also be beneficial, but not essential. 

The introduction to image analysis training will:
•    Expose the limitations of qualitative manual analyses.
•    Provide a solid theoretical foundation for concepts such as image filtering, segmentation and object quantification.
•    Introduce delegates to automated analysis pipelines using scripting in Fiji macros and Jupyter notebooks.
•    Give delegates the opportunity to learn interactively while working on real-world images.
•    Encourage delegates to work together to tackle challenges, led by highly experienced image analysis trainers.

This training is limited to 30 delegates, that will be split into smaller groups of 5-6 for practical sessions. Candidates are required to apply by Monday 26 August, detailing their image acquisition and analysis experience and the expected impact of this training on their professional practice. Those with teaching and supervision responsibilities will be prioritised. Applications will be reviewed by the lead educators and successful candidates will be invited to register. 

Registration fees are  £200; discounted registration fees of £160 are available to staff and students from Imperial College London, University College London and King's College London.
