From Images to Insights: Bioimage Analysis with AI and Big Data

Project type

  • PhD
  • Honours

Project details

Recent advances in 3D imaging techniques—particularly light-sheet microscopy—have dramatically increased the volume and complexity of biological data being generated. However, current tools and workflows often struggle to keep up, making it challenging to store, process, and extract meaningful insights from these large datasets.

This project will explore innovative strategies to better manage, visualize, and analyze 3D imaging data, helping bridge the gap between image acquisition and biological discovery. Example project areas include:

  • AI-driven image analysis: Develop and evaluate machine learning models for tasks such as cell segmentation, tracking or classification
  • Developing new algorithms/software: Developing or adapting algorithms or software for microscopy data
  • Statistical & Quantitative Analysis: Apply statistical or machine learning methods to extract features and interpret measurements from biological experiments

About our research group

The Bioimage Analysis Core (BAC) is based at WEHI’s Centre for Dynamic Imaging (CDI).

Our group collaborates with researchers to develop bioimage analysis solutions to gain insight from their complex microscopy data across diverse research areas.

We are a multidisciplinary team of physicists, biologists, engineers and bioinformaticians. We mainly focus on scientific collaborations but have recently started working on methodology development.
