Title: Society for Knowledge Exchange in BioImage analysis (GloBIAS)

Project duration: 2023 – 2025

Research Area: Life Science and Medicine

In the recent year, the job title “BioImage Analyst” has established through the activities of the Network of BioImage Analysts (NEUBIAS). We aim to continue the successful mission of NEUBIAS and make it a global society, the Global Society Of BioImage Analysts (GloBIAS).

Aims

A Bioimage Analyst is an expert in imaging science, connecting life and computer science with expertise in utilizing computational power in analyzing bioimage data. Following the tradition of the Network of European BioImage Analysts (NEUBIAS), we plan to disseminate knowledge about state-of-the-art bioimage analysis tools and methods and lift our activities on a more sustainable level.

Outlook

During the project duration we plan to 1) constitute GloBIAS as Society formally, 2) organize BioImage Analysts Workshops and 3) organize repositories and publications around training and best-practices in BioImage Analysis.
