Instruct PartnerApplications are open for the Introduction to Image Analysis Workshop 2025. Recent advancements in microscopy technology have revolutionized our ability to routinely acquire large, multi-dimensional image datasets. However, gaps remain in the effective analysis of this data, primarily due to a lack of computational skills among researchers. This often results in a reliance on qualitative, manual image assessments, which lack the precision, reproducibility, and scalability that automated, quantitative analysis can provide. To bridge this gap, this two-day workshop is designed to empower microscopists and researchers with the necessary skills and tools to confidently analyse their data. Under the instruction of experienced core facility staff from the Francis Crick Institute and King’s College London, participants will be introduced to open-source tools such as FIJI and napari, and will be introduced to methodologies for automating their image analyses, thus enhancing research precision, efficiency, and reproducibility. This workshop is suitable for any researcher, from early career researchers to experienced group leaders, engaged in the acquisition of significant amounts of microscopy image data. No prior experience in image analysis or coding is required, although a basic understanding of microscopy and image acquisition will be beneficial. Attendees will leave the workshop equipped with a knowledge of the tools needed to design and execute automated, unbiased, reproducible image analysis workflows. The workshop is limited to 30 participants.
Applications close on Sunday 5th January 2025. Applicants will be notified on Friday 17th January 2025. Successful applicants will be invited to complete a full registration form. The fee for successful applicants will be £100. Payment will be due by 31st January 2025.
