The Center for Bio-Image Informatics adds three more faculty to the research group.


Professor William Smith's  research focuses on the molecular basis of chordate morphogenesis. His group is interested in the underlying mechanism that give rise to large scale patterns in animals and he work with two experimental animals, the amphibian Xenopus, and the ascidian Ciona savignyi.He has been collaborating with Manjunath on some of the underlying image analysis challenges.

Professor Tobias Hollerer from CS is a PI on the new NSF project on uncertainty analysis. His research interests are in visualization and interactivity.


Professor Michael Liebling is a new faculty in the ECE Department with interests in  biological image acquisition, reconstruction, processing, and analysis. More specifically, he focuses on developing novel microscopy instrumentation combined with the computational tools to enable dynamic, multi-modal, and in vivo cellular imaging during embryonic heart morphogenesis.
