Group leader at the Human Technopole

Not to be confused with what I just posted, but there are *also* two other exciting positions open in the Image Analysis Unit at HT! Check it out as well. Spoiler: we will all work closely together to do awesome things! (Sometimes you can't even tell the difference between us) 👇👇👇

The Human Technopole brings together the expertise, infrastructure, and compute needed to develop AI across biological scales and data modalities. Below a 🧵 that explains what we have in mind. We are just getting started and are keen to hear from people who want to help shape our vision!

We've spent the last year building something at @humantechnopole.bsky.social that we think is genuinely needed: #AI that works across biological scales and data modalities, not just within them. A thread on what we're doing, why, and who we're looking for. A 🧵... 1/9

We opened 4 PhD positions at @humantechnopole.bsky.social together with Polimi (see 👇). My lab offers a PhD project on "Computational Morphogenesis": use state-of-the-art machine learning methods together with realistic simulations to build digital twins of developing tissue. Apply by March 26.

🎓 How can #AI and #datascience unlock new insights into human health? 📊 We’re offering 4 #PhD positions through Polimi’s DADS Programme in the groups of Emanuele Di Angelantonio, Francesca Ieva, @janfunkey.bsky.social and Fernanda Pinheiro. Apply by 26 March 👉 humantechnopole.it/en/news/4-ph...

Last call! This is a great opportunity for those interested in learning and applying SOTA ML/DL models to microscopy data with the leading experts in the field. Personally super excited to be a lead TA along with the amazing @afoix.bsky.social and @edhirata.bsky.social! Hope to see you there :)

What an incredible trackathon! After two weeks of intense discussions and happy coding (and a lot of groundwork beforehand by @msschwartz21.bsky.social and Caroline Malin-Mayor), this lovely community emerged with a Graph Exchange File Format that is ready to use! Congrats, everyone! 🎉

#geff v1 is released! 🎉 GEFF is a zarr-based Graph Exchange File Format with special support for tracking applications in Python and Java. Thank you to all the amazing developers who contributed at the Janelia 2025 Trackathon! liveimagetrackingtools.org/geff/

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. Read more: e11.bio/blog/prism

🚀 Excited to share our paper has been accepted at #NeurIPS! 🎉 We developed a deep learning framework that infers local learning algorithms in the brain by fitting behavioral or neural activity trajectories during learning. We validate on synthetic data and tested on 🪰 behavioral data (1/5 🧵)
