Under an initiative by EPFL's Center for Imaging, a team of engineers from EPFL and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid have developed a plugin that makes it easier to incorporate artificial intelligence into image analysis for life-science research. The plugin, called deepImageJ, is described in a paper appearing today in Nature Methods. Over the past five years, image analysis has been shifting away from traditional mathematical- and observational-based methods towards data-driven processing and artificial intelligence. This major development is making the detection and identification of valuable information in images easier, faster, and increasingly automated--in just about every research field. When it comes to life science, deep-learning-, a sub-field of artificial intelligence, is showing an increasing potential for bioimage analysis.

Here at BenchSci, we accelerate drug discovery by using machine learning to facilitate successful experiments. We're backed by Gradient Ventures, Google's AI fund, and built by life scientists for life scientists. We've become the world leader in AI-assisted antibody selection, and we're growing! We are currently seeking a Senior Data Engineer/Tech Lead to join our Data Team. As part of the job, you will work on evolving our data models in several styles of datastores, improve internal tooling to allow data self-service, and operationalize production-grade data pipelines.
