Spatio-temporal analysis of confocal microscopic kidney data (Z02)

Subject Area Medicine
Term from 2015 to 2018
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 246781735
 

Project Description

This project develops image analysis techniques that are relevant in the context of the CRC to enable drawing quantitative conclusions from microscopic experiments. Especially on volumetric and/or time-lapse data, it is very tedious or impossible to derive statistical numbers from the recordings. We will develop new registration algorithms for setting up a spatio-temporal gene expression atlas of the kidney, algorithms for virtual co-expression experiments as well as tracking algorithms for dynamic analyses of cells and cell assemblies in general volumetric image sequences.
