Keio University Human Biology-Microbiome-Quantum Research Center (WPI-Bio2Q) held a seminar as follows.
| Date & Time | April 24, 2025, 14:00 -16:40 |
|---|---|
| Venue | JKiC, Shinanomachi Campus, Keio University |
| ①Talk | Advancing Biomedical Image Analysis and Lab Automation through Computer Vision |
| Speaker | Min Xu, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Computational Biology, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University |
| ②Deep Dive Session | Automation in structural biology imaging |
| Chair | Takahiko Koyama(Project Professor, Keio University Bio2Q / Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence in Life Sciences) |
| Abstract | Recent breakthroughs in computer vision have significantly transformed biomedical image analysis, providing sophisticated tools to interpret complex biological phenomena and streamline laboratory workflows. In this talk, I will present my lab’s contributions to developing and applying cutting-edge computer vision techniques, with a particular emphasis on cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Cryo-ET al allows researchers to visualize cellular structures at a sub-molecular resolution within their natural contexts, and our novel approaches have facilitated the analysis and interpretation of these intricate imaging datasets. Additionally, I will discuss our ongoing efforts to leverage computer vision in lab automation, which may accelerate experimental efficiency, reproducibility, and biological discovery. Overall, our advancements in computer vision are helping bridge state-of-the-art imaging technologies with automated laboratory systems, potentially enhancing biomedical research capabilities and enabling deeper insights into biological systems. |
