April 2024, here is the brainXtract team with Emilia Skutunova, Stephan Collins, Antoine Schieb, Taiabur Rahman and Alain Vitrey (left to right) at the Datathon IA4CARE Forum 2024 in Dijon. A big thank-you goes to the entire team, including Victor Alexandre, Pierre Lambert, Zhiling Qian, Laya Salazar Lafon, as well as to the Organizing Committee for yet another successful event! During the forum, our team achieved significant milestones, particularly in the automatic segmentation of both the entire 3D brain and specific regions such as the hippocampus. These achievements were facilitated by the utilization of various algorithms leveraging deep learning tools, such as UNet, nnUnet, and pix2pix.
February 19th 2024, congratulations to Juan Cisneros for giving an outstanding talk at the SPIE Medical Imaging Conference in San Diego on « Automatic Segmentation of Histological Images of the Mouse Brain »!
December 12th 2023, lunch party in Strasbourg to celebrate Dr Perrine Kretz’s remarkable achievement in publishing her work on the neurobiology of the vault in Genome Biology!
