Multiscale Biological Imaging

Mission

Our mission is to educate researchers on cutting-edge techniques for multiscale biological imaging. This includes the integration of cellular scale data (e.g. spatial-omics) with imaging data from tissues, whole organs or organisms. It includes computational methods that integrate micro- meso- and macro-scale imaging data to derive insights about biological “systems”.
