Modern microscopy modalities that are used in the life sciences produce increasingly large image datasets which are difficult to interpret without the help of computational methods. In my talk, I will highlight several Machine Learning based approaches that we developed to address common image analysis problems in microscopy such as image restoration, nuclei/cell segmentation, and organelle reconstruction. I will demonstrate our methods on diverse examples ranging from 2D fluorescence microscopy, digital histopathology, light-sheet microscopy, to 3D electron microscopy. Finally, I will give an introduction to different software frameworks that we developed to make these methods available to the life science research community.
