The Laboratory of Multiscale Bioimaging (LMB) investigates the molecular structure and dynamics of complex molecular machines and cascades in the context of the living cell.
Lab News & Scientific Highlights
Using AI to identify genetic perturbations from cell images
New AI identifies genetic perturbations in chromatin – a potential approach in diagnostics and drug development.
Dynamical transitions in dense packings
Biophysical modeling points to changes in collective dynamics under confinement as a key aspect of cell state transitions.
Breast cancer classification using AI
Researchers at PSI and MIT are developing a new approach, which combines imaging and artificial intelligence to improve the staging of breast cancer.
