BIO-IMAGE ANALYSIS
PRESENTATION
The Necker Bio-image Analysis platform was created to meet the image analysis needs
of the Necker research campus. It specializes in bio-image processing and analysis services.
Its scope includes all imaging modalities from:
-
Different SFR platforms (such as microscopy and histology)
-
Resources common to the 2 institutes (Incucytes, Nanolive, etc.)
-
Systems specific to research teams on the Necker campus or outside.
All the work of the platform is done in scientific collaboration with the users
and the platforms concerned.

EQUIPMENT
All open source softwares (FIJI, Ilastik, QuPath, Icy), are installed on all the system
of the image analysis Platform.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) neural network for 2D segmentation StarDist (FIJI/QuPath), Cellpose2 (FIJI QuPath) and SAM (QuPath), are installed on all GPU compatible workstations (AI).

SERVICES
IMAGE ANALYSIS AS A SERVICE IS STRUCTURED AROUND 4 AXES
-
Advice: the Necker bio-image analysis platform is available for consultative meetings
at all stages of the project.
-
Analysis protocols: for each image analysis project: a first meeting will be planned
for a viewing of a few "raw" images to decide on the feasibility of the analysis.
In the event that the analysis platform cannot satisfy the desired analysis (lack of data, excessively altered image, etc.), an explanation of the disruptive analysis point(s)
will be provided and other strategies will be proposed.
-
Training: once the workflow has been established, the user will be trained
in the application of the analysis protocol and monitoring to support them in its use
will be systematically offered. At a minimum, a standard protocol will be rendered containing all the analysis steps from a few raw images. On request, a video tutorial
can be produced and provided to the team.
-
Results: Finally, the platform also supports if necessary in the interpretation of the data resulting from the analysis and offers its help on the technical points of the material and method of publication.
LIST OF SERVICES IN DETAIL
-
Advice and support on the possibilities in image analysis before the project,
during the project and after it with result discussion and help for paper and reviewing.
-
Training on the use of open-source (Fiji, Icy, Ilastik, QuPath, etc.) and licensed
(Imaris, etc.) analysis software.
-
Creating video tutorials for better laboratory knowledge transmission.
-
Design and drafting of specific analysis protocol.
-
Writing macros to automate your analysis and support in their use.
-
Script writing to compile your Excel results from the analysis and support for their reuse.
-
Provision of powerful analysis stations (remotely accessible) with AI capability adapted to analysis needs.
-
Development of new specific analysis approaches in collaboration with teams :
reuse of published plugin, Machine Learning and Deep Learning technics, etc.
-
Deep Learning 2D model creation;

EXAMPLES
The platform has a varied panel of analyses but it is also possible to develop,
in collaboration with the research teams, new approaches which are not yet included
in the portfolio.
