BARC is hosting a workshop for image analysis. We will dive into the fundamentals of light microscopy image analysis using open-source analysis software (e.g., ImageJ/Fiji). We will focus on concepts necessary to assess image quality, segment regions of interest, and extract quantitative features (e.g., intensity, count, size, shape, etc.). We will also explore how Python can be used to develop custom analysis pipelines based on these same ideas.
During the course, attendees will get hands-on analysis experience using example fluorescence microscopy images collected on a confocal microscope. However, the concepts covered will also be applicable to images collected using other modalities.
No previous coding knowledge is necessary for this course. However, a fundamental understanding of Python or other coding languages will be helpful.
Points to note:
- There will be no charge to attend if you are selected.
- Breakfast/Lunch/session breaks are included.
- Workshop is only open to researchers with a current affiliation with UNC-CH.
- Workshop is limited to 25 participants due to venue space constraints and to ensure that everyone gets adequate attention/help from TA’s.
- Workshop will be held at UNC Gaming Center (room details to be given to those selected).
- You should be willing/able to attend for the entire duration of the workshop. Since the sessions build upon sequential learning, it may be difficult for you to keep up (and for us to help you) if you miss any part of the workshop.

We expect this workshop to be oversubscribed, so we will be selecting participants from the pool of applicants. It is important that you complete the questionnaire accurately. We will use this information for participant selection (Note: we normally accept only one participant per PI lab). Selected participants will be notified by October 13, 2025
