GloBIAS is an international society for bioimage analysts, and its 1st annual conference will be held in Kobe, Japan, in October 2025. Around 150 researchers worldwide have already confirmed their participation, and we are still accepting participants to join the symposium. Be there, and get to know all the people interested in bioimage analysis!
Here is the program of the symposium:

Last call for foundingGIDE 2025 in Brisbane
Join us in Brisbane, Australia, on October 17-18, 2025, for the foundingGIDE Community Event 2025. This event will bring together the global imaging community to explore key challenges such as interoperability and standardization of biological and preclinical imaging data. This year’s theme Image Data Ecosystems:Towards Shared Solutions, highlights foundingGIDE’s commitment to building a collaborative and interoperable global image data ecosystem.
The event will feature engaging discussions, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, all designed to address critical challenges in biological and preclinical imaging data interoperability.Read more and register at: https://founding-gide.eurobioimaging.eu/community-event-2025/

New Publication Available
The foundingGIDE Deliverable D6.1 report is now available on Zenodo.
This report defines requirements for metadata harmonization across major bioimaging data resources—BIA, IDR, and SSBD—to improve data interoperability and reuse. It analyzes current metadata models, identifies key overlaps and gaps, and proposes steps toward global metadata alignment for bioimaging data sharing.

Released a new video about SSBD
We have released a new video introducing and explaining SSBD.
This video will help you better understand what SSBD is and how it works.
For more details, please refer to the related publication:

New Paper is out
We are thrilled to share our newly developed incubator-type biaxial light-sheet microscope in collaboration with the Tomonobu Watanabe Lab. The system allows in toto single-cell observation in a whole hemisphere of an E5.5 embryo for 12h.

New Paper is Out
Dr. Shinkai et al. published a paper in Physical Review E. In this study, we derived that the motion of an individual bead in the linear elastic network model—a polymer model used in our genome modeling approach, “PHi-C”—can be rigorously described by generalized Langevin equations.

ilastik Workshop in Kobe (Nov 5, 2024)
As a part of the foundingGIDE BioImage Hackathon and Workshops, we will host an ilastik workshop at RIKEN BDR, Kobe on Nov 5, 2024.
ilastik is a free, open-source, and user-friendly image analysis tool that can help you leverage machine learning algorithms to easily segment, classify, track, and count your cells or other experimental data.
Dominik Kutra at the ilastik team in Anna Kreshuk’s lab at EMBL will provide tutorials and hands-on exercises in this workshop.
