Biomedical Imaging Group, EPFL

Last Friday, I was invited to EPFL for a talk at Bioimaging and optics seminar, and met with many outstanding Imaging and Optics researchers there. EPFL is located in Lausanne, a beautiful city in Switzerland.

Here is a list of people I met and talked in EPFL.

Michael Unser (Head of Biomedical Imaging Group, the BIG)

--> many excellent ImageJ Plugins they publish on the web.

Cédric Vonesch (BIG)
extremely efficient algorithm for image deconvolution.


François Aguet (BIG)
sub-pixel resolution in Z-axis.

Nathalie Garin (Head of the Microscopy-Imaging-Morphology (MIM) core facility)

--> made a tour of her huge facility!

Matthias Lutolf (Group Leader) and Stefan Kobel

--> Laboratory of Stem Cell Bioengineering
Using micropatterned wells for single stem cell culture.

Theo Lasser (Head of Laboratoire d'Optique Biomedicale)

--> many interesting new optics.
Optical Coherence Tomography OCT
Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography FDOCT

Measurement of in vivo flows without labeling.


Daniel Sage (BIG)

tracking under noisy condition. (Spot Tracker)
--> seperate tracking each in X and Y.
semi-manual mode fro tracking is a great tool for interactive analysis (for Circadian Genes).

Philippe Thévenaz (BIG)

Snakuscule. A simplified SNAKE approach. Very fast.
