Seeing is believing: How image-based profiling is revolutionizing the process of drug discovery While examining molded petri dishes after a vacation in 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming noticed that the periphery of the mold had no bacterial growth. He would come to find that the mold was secreting an antibacterial agent later called penicillin. This drug discovery revolutionized medicine.
Using Biodock to do science: PhD candidate's experience As a scientist who has collected and analyzed many images, I am well acquainted with the toil of manual analysis and the impressive potential utility Biodock has to offer. To instantiate this utility, I tried out Biodock myself.
AI-assisted image analysis Mapping the microbiome: FISH-based approaches for microbial community visualization Understanding what human-associated bacterial biofilms look like has major translational potential and medical impact.
