Section: Overall Objectives

Organization and collaborations

In collaboration with UMR 144 CNRS-Institut Curie (“Space Time imaging of Endomembranes and organelles Dynamics” (STED) team) and PICT-IBiSA (Cell and Tissue Imaging Facilities), the members of the serpico team participate in several projects (PhD and post-doc supervision, contracts...) with biologists in the field of cell biology and microscopy. We have promoted and designed non-parametric methods since prior knowledge cannot be easily taken into account for extracting unattended but desired information from image data. We have proposed user-friendly algorithms for processing 3D or 4D data.

The scientific projects of the serpico team are complementary to the other on-going and planned projects of the UMR 144 CNRS-Institut Curie Unit. A subset of projects is related to instrumentation in electronic and photonic microscopy (PICT-IBiSA platform) including computational aspects on the reconstruction and enhancement of images related to sub-diffraction light microscopy and multimodal approaches. Our projects rely partially on the results and advances of these instrumental projects and a positive synergy is foreseen.
