Research

The BioImaging Group develops statistical, image analysis and visualization methods for unraveling basic mechanisms of biology. We are particularly interested in multicellular systems and assembling quantitative system-wide information derived at cellular and subcellular resolution. 

Projects

The Berkeley Drosophila Transcription Network Project
The NuMA Project: Early Detection of Mammary Cancer


The Lab, Family & Friends
