PPBI-Portuguese Platform of BioImaging

🚨 SPAOM 2025 is going quantum! Thrilled to host Prof. Warwick Bowen, leader in #QuantumBiotech & imaging. Think: quantum microscopes 🧬 Think: diagnostic sensors on a chip 🔬 Think: the future is now. 🎯 Learn more: qo.lab.uq.edu.au #SPAOM2025 #Bioimaging #QuantumSensing

Meet Ana Rita Costa! Ana Rita studies the membrane periodic skeleton (MPS), the so-called actin rings, in axons spaced ~190 nm apart. With STED microscopy, she reveals how nanoscale structure shapes neuron function. 🔬🧠 #Neuro #STED #MPS #Actinrings

Acknowledgement matters! At PPBI, we stand with the Royal Microscopical Society and Global Bioimaging to promote recognition of the vital work imaging scientists and facilities do for research.

🔬 Meet @QDavid18982, PhD student at the Bioinspired Peptide Systems Lab @itqbnova. His work explores how LLPS enhances the catalytic activity of short peptides by forming peptide-ATP coacervates!

🚀 Excited to share that our work on BiaPy has been published today in Nature Methods! BiaPy makes deep learning accessible for bioimage analysis, from small datasets to terabyte-scale 3D images. 👇(1/7) 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159… #DeepLearning #BioimageAnalysis #BiaPy

What does your gut say about aging? That’s what Catarina Silva, a PhD student @ibimed_ua , is working to uncover. Her research dives into inflammaging -the chronic, low-grade inflammation that comes with age- and how it shapes the gut microbiota.🦠

Getting your microscopy images ready for publication isn’t always easy! 🧠✨ Schmied et al. shared great checklists to guide you. Here are 4 key tips to make your images clear, accurate & publication-ready! 📊🔬doi.org/10.1038/s41592… #Microscopy #ImagePreparation #BioImaging
