Course Overview

The Image Processing and Analysis for Life Scientists program have been meticulously created considering the indispensability of image-based methods for life scientists. The Image Processing and Analysis for Life Scientists certification course thoroughly explains analysis methods using all the open-source solutions, leaving the candidates with the freedom of choosing commercial solutions as per their choice and convenience. Considering the evolution of light microscopy from sketched-out raw observations from the eye to high throughput multi-channel, multi-plane, multimode and multi-position acquisitions, which produce information-rich images easily quantifiable for answerability of biological questions, the course thoroughly teaches the learners how to adapt to all the rapid changes occurring and to maintain a sustainable workflow environment. 

The Image Processing and Analysis for Life Scientists online course thoroughly teaches the candidates the good practices and typical pitfalls that exist in the field of image analysis and empowers the candidates with a rigorous first-hand experience in image analysis through its carefully designed content. The candidates can take the course in verified or audit track. The audit track is free of cost and provides a limited period of access.
