ABRF Virtual Town Hall Meetings
ABRF members convene on a monthly basis to discuss issues and updates, including the latest developments from the ABRF Research Groups.
If you have suggestions for future ABRF Town Hall topics, please send us your ideas.
Next Town Hall:
Introduction to AI for Microscopy
Presenter: Jian Wei Tay, BioFrontiers Institute (University of Colorado Boulder)
Tuesday, May 21, 2024, 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET
Office hour: May 28, 2024, 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET
In response to the significant interest in the recent AI in Imaging Cores Town Hall, ABRF is excited to announce a new series: AI & Bioimaging Community Discussions.
These new online meetings will cover the ABCs of AI in bioimaging, starting with an introduction to AI, to image acquisition and analysis, to software and developing your own models.
The new meetings will be held monthly (except August) on a Tuesday from 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET. The following Tuesday, there will be a one hour “office hour” for follow up questions/discussions. If you cannot attend, most of the sessions will be recorded and made available on the ABRF website.
In this introductory talk, we will set the stage for the new series by answering some commonly asked questions:
- What is AI?
- How can AI help with microscopy?
- How does machine learning work?
- What models and tools are commonly used?
No prior knowledge of AI or machine learning is assumed. While the examples used will primarily be geared towards microscopy users, this introduction will also be of interest to anyone wanting a primer on AI.
Discussion Leaders
- Kevin Ferro, Stowers Institute for Medical Research
- Jane Srivastava, Gladstone Institute, University of California, San Francisco
- Stacie Woolard, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
If you would like to send any questions beforehand to be discussed at the session, please email Jane: jane.srivastava@gladstone.ucsf.edu.
