Advanced analysis and processing of volume electron microscopy data
Electron microscopy, particularly Volume Electron Microscopy (vEM), is undergoing rapid technological transformation. Modern approaches such as Serial Block-Face SEM (SBF-SEM), Focused Ion Beam SEM (FIB-SEM), and multi-beam SEM now enable large-scale, high-resolution imaging of biological structures with unprecedented detail. Yet, data analysis remains a major bottleneck, limiting the full potential of these techniques.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning are revolutionizing vEM workflows by streamlining segmentation, reducing manual effort, and increasing analysis throughput. Combined with high-performance computing, these tools make data processing more efficient, reproducible, and accessible.
This hands-on EMBO Practical Course provides practical training in advanced data processing, AI-assisted segmentation, and deep learning-based analysis. Participants will work with platforms such as MIB, Napari, EMPANADA, and Amira to confidently handle, analyze, and interpret complex vEM datasets. This EMBO Practical Course is open to researchers at various career stages with experience in imaging or data analysis.
