Workshop on Artificial Intelligence methods applied to intravital microscopy of the immune system, May 16 – 18, 2022
This workshop will cover theoretical and practical aspects regarding the application of A.I. -based methods for the analysis of intravital imaging data.We will focus on the migration and interaction of immune cells observed in vivo, explaining how to get accurate tracking analysis, or how to extract insights from videos without using cell tracking.Moreover, we will […]

IRB Foundation appoints four new Scientific Council members, including the 2020 Nobel Prize winner for medicine
December 20, 2021 – The Institute for Research in Biomedicine Foundation (IRB Foundation) has appointed four new members to the Scientific Advisory Board of the USI-affiliated Institute. Among these leading academics, Charles M. Rice, Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2020. On 15 December, during the first session of the IRB Foundation held in the new […]
Protein axis to promote genome stability
Bellinzona, March 4, 2022 – The Bloom’s syndrome helicase (BLM) functions in DNA double-strand break repair to prevent crossover recombination. In the absence of BLM, crossover recombination products are increased, leading to a loss of heterozygosity and dramatically increased incidence of cancers. Mechanistically, BLM helicase functions together with a TopoIIIa topoisomerase to process recombination products […]

CANCOL, a Computer-Assisted Annotation Tool to Facilitate Colocalization and Tracking of Immune Cells
Bellinzona, February 22, 2022 – Four-dimensional imaging data obtained via two-photon intravital microscopy (2P-IVM) are classically analyzed by performing automated cell tracking, a procedure that computes the trajectories followed by each cell. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are crucial in this analysis process. However, AI can generate detrimental results when applied in biomedical research without considering […]
