Whether you need advice on experimental design after your first microscopy session or expert feedback on complex image analysis workflows, we are happy to talk to you.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Service mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We support EMBL scientists, visitors, and service users in extracting quantitative information from microscopy data in an efficient, scalable and reproducible manner. To this end, we offer consultancy sessions, conduct training workshops, provide access to reusable infrastructure, and engage in community building. This service is built on strong collaborations with EMBL\u2019s microscopy facilities, IT services, and colleagues from the Data Science Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We organise image analysis courses to empower you to independently conduct microscopy analysis based research. Please check the Data Science Centre training website for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/data-science-centre\/training\/\">upcoming courses<\/a>. Most of our training material is part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/neubias.github.io\/training-resources\/index.html\">publicly accessible resource<\/a> for teaching bioimage analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Computational Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide advice for how to leverage the high-performance computer cluster at EMBL Heidelberg for image analysis; please <a href=\"https:\/\/bio-it.embl.de\/datascience-consulting\/\">contact us<\/a>! In addition, we provide <a href=\"https:\/\/desktops.bast.embl.de\/\">virtual desktops for image analysis <\/a>with preinstalled image analysis software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a hub for internal image analysis related communication we provide a <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.embl.org\/embl\/channels\/image-analysis\">chat channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to reach out beyond EMBL please use the <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.image.sc\/\">image analysis forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, we are committed towards strengthening professional bioimage analysis. To do so, we actively participate in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globias.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.globias.org\/\">GloBIAS<\/a> initiative and we regularly run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/events\/bia23-01\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/events\/bia23-01\/\">EMBO workshops for bioimage analysts<\/a>. Realising that a common, powerful and well supported image data format would be a game changer for conducting professional bioimage analysis we are actively supporting the development and use of <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00418-023-02209-1\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00418-023-02209-1\">OME-Zarr<\/a>.
