Spatio-temporal analysis of confocal microscopic kidney data (Z02)

• Subject Area: Medicine
• Term: from 2015 to 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 246781735

This project develops image analysis techniques that are relevant in the context of the CRC to enable drawing quantitative conclusions from microscopic experiments. Especially on volumetric and/or time-lapse data, it is very tedious or impossible to derive statistical numbers from the recordings. We will develop new registration algorithms for setting up a spatio-temporal gene expression atlas of the kidney, algorithms for virtual co-expression experiments as well as tracking algorithms for dynamic analyses of cells and cell assemblies in general volumetric image sequences.
