Eva, Aish, and Joe had the opportunity to serve as instructors at the Deep Learning for Microscopy Workshop at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL). The course was organized by Jan Funke and Patrick LaRiviere and was funded by the National Center for Brain Mapping at the University of Chicago.

Check out our new review paper on generative models and abstractions for large-scale neuroanatomy datasets [PDF]. This review is part of a special issue on Machine Learning, Big Data, and Neuroscience in Current Opinion in Neurobiology.

Eva was awarded a Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship in Neuroscience! She is honored to be one of two fellows from the BME department to be awarded a Sloan Fellowship, along with Chethan Pandarinath.

TJ presented his new paper on using sparse approximation methods for estimating layers in cortical and retinal tissue samples at IEEE’s Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference. Way to go TJ!

Alexis Webber’s proposal to support her undergrad research in the lab was funded by the Charles I. Hancock Endowed Research Fund. Congrats Alexis!

A new paper from the lab was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering. The paper was also featured in an article in Scientific American!
