🚀#SReD, our #OpenSource #imagej plugin for automatic detection and quantitative analysis of repetitive biological structures in microscopy image just launched! Check it out: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… Special thanks to @HenriquesLab @Bruno_MSaraiva @Micromede @christlet
Our researcher @afonsomendes92 & collaborator @christlet just published on @NatureComms. They developed a new analysis tool that automatically finds repeating patterns in structures in biological images without prior knowledge. Read it at: nature.com/articles/s4146… @Bruno_MSaraiva
🔬👨💻📰 #SReD is out! Automated structural detection for #ImageJ & #FIJI, from nano to macro ✨🐘. No training data, no bias - texture analysis with GPU acceleration!⚡️ Brainchild of @afonsomendes92 and adventure w @christlet lab + friends. Check: nature.com/articles/s4146…
Communicating science within our headquarters at @itqbnova is incredible, but taking science beyond our lab is even more rewarding. Today @_mariod & @filipa_reinoite visited a local school hoping to inspire the next generation of scientists. @OeirasValley #OeirasEduca


🚨We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal if you're eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)
Last Friday we celebrated @itqbnova Day!🎂🥂 In the ceremony, 𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 was awarded to @_mariod & @PPortela_Raquel in recognition of their outstanding proposal: InfectoFITT.🏅 The award was presented by @OeirasValley Councillor @PedroPatacho & Verónica Amparo #Sarstedt




It's here! ✨ The #ExSRRF protocol paper is out 😍. Full details for merging Expansion Microscopy with eSRRF analysis. From cells to tissue. A partnership with @PuellesVictor. Lead by Dominik Kylies and Hannah Heil + colleagues. #ExM #eSRRF ➡️ Open link: rdcu.be/euvEw
🧾New paper now on @NatureProtocols! 🎉The #ExSRRF protocol gives you all details on how to merge Expansion Microscopy technique with #eSSRF analysis. Developed by Hannah Heil @HenriquesLab and Dominik Kylies @PuellesVictor 🔗: nature.com/articles/s4159…
New Article! Expansion and fluctuations-enhanced microscopy for nanoscale molecular profiling of cells and tissues bit.ly/3GoG9ZF
New pre-print alert 🚨⚠️ @HenriquesLab just published a pre-print on framework to auto generate pre-prints from simple text. Interested to use it for your research? 📃Read more about it at: zenodo.org/records/157535…
🧑🔬📰🚀 #RxivMaker is here! A framework automating the creation of publication-ready scientific #preprints from simple Markdown. Goodbye manual formatting, and hello gorgeous manuscripts! An adventure with G. Jacquemet's lab 📜: zenodo.org/records/157535… 👨💻: github.com/HenriquesLab/r…
In the past week we welcomed students from Escola Amélia Rey Colaço at @itqbnova Researchers @ArisDaria & @_mariod demonstrated the principle expansion microscopy was originated from- Baby Diapers👶 We have our lab doors open to young minds to show them how research can be fun!👩🔬

#OeirasValleyScienceFestival was a blast! With 22.000 participants, the energy was incredible. @HenriquesLab delivered an amazing talk and researchers @ArisDaria and @_Mariod were busy all day sharing the wonders of microscopy🔬with diapers🍼- Curious to know how they relate?🤔💭
This Sunday @OeirasValley Science Festival is happening! 📅On the 25th of May at 10:50 @HenriquesLab will talk in a roundtable session about 𝗔I 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵. 👩🔬Meanwhile researchers @ArisDaria & @_mariod will be representing our lab at @itqbnova stand. 🫵COME SEE US!

Over the school break, @m_g_ferreira & @_mariod engaged in an outreach activity under the scope of @OeirasValley project "Universidade de Primavera". Students became scientists for a day, observed their own cells and explored the new technology for bioplastics at @itqbnova.🧫🔬


Following the release of @m_g_ferreira and @gomez_mariscal #ReScale4DL work, Estibaliz shared her view on "FAIR and high-quality AI-ready data for bioimage analysis" on the 4-part @AI4LifeTeam webinar series in collab with @GloBIAS_✍Catch the next one at bit.ly/registration-g…
