I am interested in hacking biological systems for fun and profit. This includes (non-exhaustively) using tools from mathematics, computer science, and engineering disciplines to probe, understand, and program biological systems.
DeepProfiler DeepProfiler is a set of tools that allow you to use deep learning for analyzing imaging data in high-throughput biological experiments. Documentation and instructions for DeepProfiler can be found in our Handbook and the code is located on the GitHub page. Cytominer The Pycytominer...
Authors: Beth Cimini, John Kitchin, Andrew Rosen, and Anne Carpenter What is the COA form? NSF requires you to report all “Co-authors on any book, article, report, abstract or paper with collaboration in the last 48 months” in Table 4 of the COA form, for certain people (e.g. PI, Co-PI, Senior/Key...
I am the Administrative Assistant for the Imaging platform, holding dual master’s degrees in Digital Economy and Business from Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, as well as Cultural and Fashion studies from the University of Zagreb. My interests lie in the financial aspect of nonprofit...
Pearl V. Ryder The Robust Background algorithm is a powerful algorithm for automatically setting thresholds to segment objects of interest when your image contains mostly background. However, since it contains the largest number of tunable parameters of any thresholding algorithm in CellProfiler, it...
Beth Cimini Cross posted from our GitHub wiki — check there for any future updates! Running CellProfiler from the command line has a major advantage — you don't need to spend computational power or memory creating the graphical user interface (GUI) that you're used to using in CellProfiler! It also...
Hi all, Due to issues with pip installation with CellProfiler on some platforms, we have released a version 4.2.6 with slightly updated dependency pins. If you are using the CellProfiler 4.2.5 application downloaded from our website, there is no need for you to update - 4.2.6 contains no changes to...
Beth Cimini One of the most common questions I’m asked when helping a collaborator with an image analysis project is: “How do I know when my analysis workflow is doing well enough at finding the objects or measuring the things I care about?” Unfortunately, it’s also one of the hardest questions to...
Anne Carpenter Clearly communicating the impact of your research is one of the most important skills you need to develop as a scientist, and yet typically it is only taught by doing (and if you are lucky, feedback – especially critical feedback). Clear communication is important to get funding and...
