Title: Working with image data in R
Date: Thursday, March 23rd, 15:00 – 17:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker: Wolfgang Huber is the author of several R packages for statistical analysis of “omics” data and a co-founder of the Bioconductor project. He co-authored the textbook Modern Statistics for Modern Biology with Susan Holmes. He has worked on cellular phenotyping from genetic and chemical screens and is a co-author of the EBImage package). He is a senior group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, where he co-directs the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit and the Theory Transversal Theme. Scientific Homepage is here
Description: Images are a rich source of data. In this workshop, we will see how quantitative information can be extracted from images. We will use segmentation to identify objects, measure their properties such as size, intensity distribution moments, shape and morphology descriptors, and explore statistical models to describe spatial relationships between them. The workshop includes a hands-on demonstration of the EBImage package for R, which provides many functions for feature extraction and visualization. Application examples will be taken from biological imaging of cells and tissues, the methods should also be applicable to other types of data.
Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 750 UAH)
How can I register?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro. Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go directly to support Ukraine.

If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.
How can I sponsor a student?
- Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro (or 17 GBP or 20 USD or 750 UAH). Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go to support Ukraine!
- Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)
- Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.
If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).
You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.
