Microscopy Machine Vision Lab

AI for bioimaging, from new algorithms to new biology

MMV Lab is the AMBIOM group at ISAS (Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften) in Dortmund, Germany.

Cutting-edge biomedicine does not always need the newest algorithm. It needs analysis that is accessible, robust, reproducible, and proven in practice. The field still needs new AI methods to move forward, though. We do both, on purpose. We lead new methods in efficient AI, AI-ready data, and agents for bioimage analysis. We also work deep inside biomedical teams, from immunology to neuroscience, and build whatever their science needs, novel or not. That takes AI experts and biologists working as one team, and that is the team we build. Next: multimodal AI that combines microscopy with mass spectrometry and omics towards the 4D-analytics mission in precision medicine and healthcare.

Join us: master’s theses for students in the Ruhr area; PhD and postdoc inquiries are always welcome.
