Bio-Image Informatics

Center for Bio-Image Informatics

    The Center for Bio-Image Informatics is an interdisciplinary research effort between Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Multimedia and Engineering. The overarching goal of the center is the advancement of human knowledge of the complex biological processes which occur at both cellular and sub-cellular levels.

BISQUE

    Online Semantic Query User Environment is our online database for managing up to 5 dimensional scientific images with associated metadata and a flexible, collaborative tagging system.

 

Useful Informatics Tools

BioView3D

    An open source and cross-platform application intended for biologists to visualize 3D stack (laser scanning confocal, etc.) imagery. It runs on Windows, MacOS X and Linux.

ImageJ

    Open source Java-based image processing and anlysis tools developed at the National Institutes of Health.

Mayachitra Imago

    Bioimage management and analyis tools for scientific images. imago is a simple yet powerful tool that allows scientists to easily manage, organize, analyze a large collection of images.
