AI in cell imaging
In this interview from our sister site BioTechniques, find out about how AI is revolutionizing the field of cell imaging with Anne Carpenter. Highlights include: leukemia detection, challenges associated with developing deep learning algorithms and where the field is heading in the next 5 years.
At ASCB 2019, BioTechniques sat down with the Broad Institute’s Anne Carpenter to discuss her work in cell imaging software and how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the field.
Anne Carpenter is an Institute Scientist and Merkin Institute Fellow at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Her research group develops algorithms and data analysis methods for large-scale experiments involving images. The team’s open-source CellProfiler software is used by thousands of biologists worldwide (www.cellprofiler.org). Carpenter is a pioneer in image-based profiling, the extraction of rich, unbiased information from images for a number of important applications in drug discovery and functional genomics.
