Image processing for biological applications

The Department of Structure and Function of Chromatin (SFC), Institute of Molecular Biology “Roumen Tsanev”, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, performs their experiments by spinning disk confocal microscopy of living cell, which generate images of dozens of GBs per experiment. The generated images require extensive image processing, such as registration, deconvolution, volume rendering, surface rendering, object detection, measurement of shape, size, and intensity of cell objects and automatic object movement tracking of the living cell in 3 dimensions and time. The Practical Centre of Medical Emergency, Moldova, uses image analysis to model and classify human pathologies, analyse and classify the traumatism level of emergency patients, optimising the emergency medical care in Republic of Moldova using the Distributed information system DICE.
