Plenary Sessions
What innovative tools and technologies are transforming how we study the brain and nervous system?
We welcome contributions on advanced imaging techniques, cutting-edge optical approaches to recording and manipulating neural activity, and molecular and computational tools that enable new insights into neural circuit structure, dynamic brain function, and neurodegenerative disease.
How can AI revolutionize microscopy?
From virtual labelling to automated decision making and data analysis, we invite contributions that allow deeper insights into how smart and AI tools can be used to develop a better understanding of complex biological structures and dynamics. As the demand for non-invasive, high-resolution imaging grows, these cutting-edge label free and machine learning enhanced approaches are transforming how we study biological samples in their native states.
How can quantum technologies drive progress in the life sciences?
We invite contributions on quantum imaging and sensing approaches that unravel biological processes at the cellular or molecular level. Topics include quantum contrast agents, ghost imaging, quantum illumination, and point-defect-based sensors for metabolic activity, intracellular thermometry, or magnetic field sensing, among other quantum-enabled tools.
How to best characterize 3D models of health and disease?
Complex, three-dimensional cellular and tissue structures are revolutionizing biomedical research and innovative imaging approaches are essential for capturing their intricate architecture and dynamic behaviors. This session invites contributions about state-of-the-art methods for visualizing and analyzing organoids and tissue models to provide exciting new insights into disease progression and therapeutic responses.
What are the latest developments in Microscopy?
Discover the latest breakthroughs and emerging trends in microscopy techniques and their diverse applications. This session highlights cutting-edge advancements in imaging technologies, that may range from novel super-resolution methods to multimodal approaches and real-time live-cell imaging. We invite contributions on innovative microscopy technologies and applications across biological and biomedical research.
How are AI and bioimage analysis reshaping research workflows and driving new scientific breakthroughs?
We invite contributions on key advances in segmentation, object detection, and denoising, powered by deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks. Topics may also include real-time analysis, 3D reconstruction, and multimodal image integration, as well as the growing impact of self-supervised and transfer learning, which enhance learning efficiency from available data to gain deeper biological insights. Throughout this session, we will highlight how BioImage Analysts are at the heart of microscopy transformation, providing the expertise to turn complex image data into valuable insights that drive scientific progress and enhance the impact of biomedical research.
