Excited to share an update on #DynaCLR—a self-supervised method to learn dynamic cell & organelle embeddings from time-lapse microscopy using contrastive learning. DynaCLR combines single-cell tracking & time-aware sampling for robust representations.

Directing this year's DL@MBL course with @janfunkey, @sagzehn, @ilastik_team, and our awesome TAs was one of my most intense and fulfilling projects of 2024. The spirits of curiosity, collaboration, and Captain Kidd 🙃 made the course so much fun! .

The combination of virtual staining and ultrack enables label-free segmentation and tracking: This has already enabled gentler imaging and analysis of cell dynamics in our projects.

7/ 🤖 As mentioned, we can also directly use the intensity images if they already delineate the cells with contours, as is often the case with membrane labeling. With the help of @mattersOfLight 's team, particularly @edyoshikun, we tracked A549 cells using quantitative phase

Successful execution required the integration of ideas across optics, algorithms, automation, high-performance computing, cell biology, and neuropathology. I am thankful to my colleagues for their expertise and for placing this bet with me. 14/n

@czbiohub @LiHao_Yeh @orctweets This is one of those projects that has taken several iterations and years to finish - look at the timestamps! Special thanks to @rita_strack for being an amazing editor throughout this process. 13/n

@czbiohub @LiHao_Yeh We needed a calibration target to evaluate the measurements of 3D dry mass and 3D orientation made with PTI. In addition to biological structures of known architecture and isotropic beads, we used anisotropic glass targets built by the Peter Kazansky lab @orctweets. Intriguing

@czbiohub As I mentioned before, the design complexity lies in the algorithms and calibration. @LiHao_Yeh validated the wave optical model of the microscope and the reconstruction algorithm with methodical simulations of isotropic beads and an anisotropic patterns. 🌊💡.11/n

@czbiohub PTI is easy to multiplex with fluorescence and H&E imaging, allowing label-agnostic mapping of cell and tissue architecture. In this movie, we image a standard H&E stained cardiac tissue slice. 10/n
