1/ 📡Exciting news! 🚀 Our #Omega paper has been accepted at @NatureMethods! Omega is a napari🔬 plugin that uses Large Language Models to assist users with bioimage processing and analysis tasks! Check out our original project announcement (see below), read the paper:

I've been so out of breath trying to deal with grant deadlines that I've barely had time to pause and appreciate the massive amount of progress we made in the last year in spite of the move from Salk to UCSD and hanging around in temporary space (permanent lab is done 7/31!) 🧵/1

Writer Fionna Samuels covers how microscopy researchers use AI, including Shalin Mehta, who has pioneered AI-augmented label-free light microscopy for biology at #CZBiohubSF, and #CZBiohubSF Investigator TrickSter OP, who uses AI for lensless imaging.

How do organelles change over the course of a stem cell’s life? Sarah Cohen, Assaf Zaritsky, and Shalin Mehta are using machine learning and cell engineering to study the impact of organelle-organelle interactions on stem cell differentiation. #FrontierScience

I am excited to join the next cohort of Allen Distinguished Investigators and looking forward to parsing the role of organelle interactions with imaging and AI in partnership with Sarah Cohen and Assaf Zaritsky!

Virtual staining offers a promising approach to map dynamic cellular systems across various cell types + conditions, broadening the scope of live-cell imaging. Congrats to Shalin Mehta & the team at #CZBiohubSF 🎉🙌 bit.ly/4jZJCvg

🚫 No dyes. No bleaching. 🔬 Just AI + label-free microscopy = vivid virtually stained images New in Nature Machine Intelligence: A deep learning model that enables robust virtual staining across microscopes, cell types & conditions. #CZBiohubSF Shalin Mehta explains:

We have a fun update on DynaCLR (arxiv.org/abs/2410.11281), a self-supervised method for learning cell state dynamics from 3D multi-channel movies! Congratulations, team Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network, for reaching this milestone! Special thanks to Carolina Arias and her team for the close
