Artificial intelligence-based methods for quantitative phenotyping of neural rosettes from microscopy images
This project focuses on building novel image analysis pipelines for analyzing neural rosettes using multi-channel microscopy data. Approaches will include segmentation model development, automated quality control, instance-level morphometrics and spatial modelling of rosette substructures. The goal is to enable high-throughput reproducible quantification of early developmental changes in neurogenetic…
