NEW STUDY. Weeks-long searching for biomarkers have now been condensed to minutes or even seconds of automatic work. Through a collaboration project between Bioinformatics and Data Centre (BDC) and Britta Langens at Sahlgrenska Cancer Center, a machine learning framework for radiation biomarker discovery and absorbed dose prediction have been developed. “To identify biomarkers using machine learning is a novel approach in cancer radiotherapy, which earlier was a manual and time-consuming method where human bias is a risk. Britta Lange had acquired huge amount of data through animal…
The CALL 4HELP meeting place gives you support in light microscopy and image analysis
RESEARCH SUPPORT. As a way to create an informal and easily accessible forum for support in light microscopy, image acquisition, and analysis, the Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) started a monthly ‘CALL4HELP’ support session for researchers. The CALL4HELP consists of open hours (13:00-15:00) for discussion and consultation every 3rd Friday of the month. ‘All are welcome to participate, no matter the stage of the project you are at. While you don’t have to be a current user at CCI to…
Four Projects Selected After a Record Number of Applications for the Bollan Stipend 2022
YOUNG RESEARCHERS. After a thorough review process of over forty applications for the Bollan Stipend 2022, four young researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy have now been awarded the stipend for research projects in medicine and health. The funds are intended to be used within Core Facilities for design, analysis, data collection or other research support available at the research infrastructure. Three out of the four projects have applied for the use…
GU Journalen: Sahlgrenska Academy researchers bring in the most external funding to the University
GRANTS. The top 100 researchers brought in a total of SEK 4.2 billion in external funding to the University between 2017 and 2021, according to a review by GU Journalen. Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy have been particularly successful, bringing in SEK 2.4 billion in this five-year period. Of the five top names on the list, four are from our faculty. Göran Bergström, professor of cardiovascular research, brought in the most…
Development of Smart Microscopy at CCI Receives SSF Fellows Grant
CONDITIONS FOR RESEARCH. The development of next generation smart microscopy involves a powerful combination of automated end-to-end imaging workflows, image analysis, and machine learning strategies. Rafael Camacho, scientific officer at CCI who works with this development, received the SSF Research Infrastructure Fellows 2 program – a SEK 15 million grant spread over a five-year period with the aim to continue the development of smart microscopy. Since the project is carried out…
