Research Areas

The research of this group is on the interface of Imaging and BioInformatics.

The research focus of this group is on bio imaging and relation the analysis of image information to other bio-molecular information resources. At present the bio imaging has its emphasis on microscopy modalities, in particular light microscopy.

The analysis requires that a large number of images be processed. To overcome the limitations of standard storage formats, innovative approaches for image databases in experimental settings are probed.

Current research subjects comprise: 3D Reconstruction & Modeling, Ontologies and their application in the image domain, Gene expression databases, Image analysis and pattern analysis in the Bio-Imaging domain (microsocopy).
