Attention #coronavirus researchers! If you have a research project that would benefit from thousands of volunteers helping to analyse your data, please get in touch with us here, or via [email protected]. #COVID19 #CitizenScience
π¨π’ NEW PROJECT ALERT KLAXON!!!! π’π¨ The Etchaverse continues to grow! Check out our latest #CitizenScience release on The Zooniverse "Etch a Cell VR" Data from the @EM_STP team The Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with @LabParton zooniverse.org/projects/h-spiβ¦
π¬ π¦ Etch a cell, the citizen science project from Helen Spiers and our @EM_STP team has a new project π Have a go at spotting and tracing the endoplasmic reticulum in images of cells taken on our electron microscopes (zero prior knowledge needed!) zooniverse.org/projects/h-spiβ¦
π¨ Save the date! ποΈ π¨ The second The Francis Crick Institute #BioImageAnalysis Symposium will be 22-23rd November 2021, as a fully virtual event once again crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crickβ¦ #CBIAS2021

"Become a dangerous diseases hunter by tracing cell structures online" Helen Spiers spoke to @layallivs from New Scientist about #CitizenScience for #BioImageAnalysis with #EtchACell [Requires subscription] newscientist.com/article/mg2493β¦
The #EtchACell paper is now out in Traffic Journal ππππππ (see tweetorial from the preprint below for the tl;dr!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/trβ¦
Novel citizen science project (via The Zooniverse), Etch a Cell, has enabled Deep learning approach for automatic segmentation of nuclear envelope of #HeLa cell (doi.org/10.1111/tra.12β¦). Raw data on #EMPIAR (empire.org/10094). #machineLearning #segmentation #volumeEM
Our latest foray into #DeepLearning for #BioimageAnalysis - this time instance segmentation of mitochondria for the #MitoEM grand challenge at #ISBI. Another fruitful collaboration with The Francis Crick Institute's Scientific Computing STP! Helen Spiers Emy St-pierre

Are youβ¦ πΉ a PhD student or postdoc? πΉ working in data or biomedical science? πΉ interested in entrepreneurship? Weβre teaming up with The Alan Turing Institute, Wellcome Sanger Institute and Entrepreneurs First to host two free virtual sessions this July. Take a look β‘οΈbit.ly/dxbcrick
Visual proteomics lets researchers see how proteins move in cells β but it can need huge amounts of money and expertise. A new Biohub grant will help @EM_STP, Ricardo Henriques and Imperial College Londonβs Paul French develop a more accessible version π¬π π ow.ly/4XCf50FcHku
Weβre going to be sharing our research with even more people online and in person, thanks to a generous new donation from longtime Cancer Research UK supporter Dangoor Education! π»π€³π±οΈ crick.ac.uk/news/2021-06-1β¦
