We often hear retraction of papers with fake image data like gel images with hand-drawn bands and cleanups, but in addition to such elementary-level mistakes, there are image analyses used in papers that are scientifically questionable. With Simon, we tried to shed light on this overlooked problem and propose a solution.

Details of motivations, the design, and paedagogic concepts of NEUBIAS Bioimage Analysis schools, started in 2017, are now in a manuscript. I wrote the “Bioimage Analyst School” part, and am quite satisfied to have the written record of our struggle and achievements, that I did together with the bioimage analysis genius Jean-Yves Tinevez (The Pasteur Institute, Paris).

The paper describing the Bleach Correction Plugin (for ImageJ) is now published.

We now have a new book "Bioimage Data Analysis Workflow"published from Springer, topics of which are centered around bioimage analysis workflows. The book is open access - thanks to the support from COST Action.

As of May 3rd 2016, supported by COST grant, NeuBIAS officially launched for creating a stronger and broader network among bioimage analysts: read "EuBIAS Manifesto (2013, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.18047)" for more details about our initial motivation. The official document stating our activities is here (PDF)

BIAS has been a small group, and EuBIAS has been a bit larger but now with NeuBIAS, it's big!

EMBL Master Course for Bioimage Data Analysis (BIAS2016): Registration is now open, deadline on April 15th.

Official Website: http://www.embl.de/bias2016

Course Wiki: BIAS2016 wiki

A new book is now online: “Bioimage Data Analysis”. The instructors of EMBL Bioimage Data Analysis coauthored 10 chapters on practical techniques for analyzing image data in biology. E-books are downloadable free of charge from the following link.

Bioimage Data Analysis: Materials

The CMCI seminar has been either spontaneous or took a form of mini-symposium, but now in a new format.

Every three weeks, seminar member gathers and two of them present image analysis problems / solutions or reads a paper. For more details and the schedule, see this page.

The 2nd “EMBL Master course on BioImage Data Analysis” will be in May. I , Sebastien Tosi (Barcelona) and Perrine Paul-Gilloteaux will be organizing the course. Here is the wiki page for this year.

I added biography of invited speakers, so please check if you are interested! By the way, we abbreviate the course title as “BIAS2014”.
