BIOIMAGING 2021

11-13 February 2021 | Vienna - Austria 

Bioimaging is a term that covers the complex chain of acquiring, processing and visualizing structural or functional images of living objects or systems, including extraction and processing of image-related information. Examples of image modalities used in bioimaging are many, including: X-ray, CT, MRI and fMRI, PET and HRRT PET, SPECT, MEG and so on. Medical imaging and microscope/fluorescence image processing are important parts of bioimaging referring to the techniques and processes used to create images of the human body, anatomical areas, tissues, and so on, down to the molecular level, for clinical purposes, seeking to reveal, diagnose, or examine diseases, or medical science, including the study of normal anatomy and physiology. Both classic image processing methods (e.g. denoising, segmentation, deconvolution and registration methods, feature recognition and classification) and modern machine, in particular deep, learning techniques represent an indispensable part of bioimaging, as well as related data analysis and statistical tools.

VIZBI 2021

24-26 March 2021 | EMBL - Virtual 

VIZBI 2021 is the 11^th international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data. It will be held as an EMBL virtual conference, from March 24–26. The conference will feature talks from 21 world-leading researchers showcasing visualizations transforming how life scientists view data, and driving key advances in molecular biology, systems biology, biomedical science, and ecology.

The conference brings together a diverse community, including bioinformaticians, data scientists, computer scientists, and experimentalists, as well as medical illustrators, graphic designers, and graphic artists. All participants will have the opportunity to present a poster and lightning talk describing their work.

As with previous meetings, VIZBI 2021 promises to be an exciting event that will again help raise the standard of data visualization in the life sciences. We hope very much you can join us!

FOM2021

28-31 March 2021 | Online Conference 

Key subjects for the conference series are the theory and practice of 3D optical imaging, related 3D image processing, and especially developments in resolution and imaging modalities.

The conference series covers also the rapidly advancing fluorescence labeling techniques for confocal and multi-photon 3D imaging of live biological specimens.

Typical topics of the upcoming FOM2021 online conference include:

Theory and practice of confocal and multiphoton-excitation microscopy

Super-resolution/ nanoscopy imaging including: PSF engineering (4pi, SIM, STED), fluorescence activation/quenching, stochastic/centroid (PALM, STORM, GSDIM, SOFI and related techniques), TIRF

3D and 4D live cell and tissue imaging

Adaptive optics for microscopy

Light sheet microscopy

Phase/interference based microscopies

OCT, holographic, endoscopy

Advanced fluorescence imaging/spectroscopy: FRET, FRAP, FLIM, FCS, SOFI

New fluorescent probes, proteins, quantum dots, single molecule imaging

Clearing and expansion techniques

Coherent non-linear microscopies: SHG, THG, SFG, CARS.

Multi-dimensional fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy imaging

Correlated microscopies, like light/electron

Laser manipulation and tracking, photo-activation

Fast acquisition, automated and high-content microscopy

3D image processing and visualization of multidimensional data.
