Of Mice and Men - Visualization for Biology and Biologists :)
Presentation Abstract - In this short talk, Dr Machiraju will describe inter-disciplinary work that his research colleagues and he have been conducting with biologist and scientists over the last few years. He will focus mostly on the computational and algorithmic challenges required to capture the full architectural details of the micro environment of tumors in complex mammalian organisms (esp the mice). The ultimate goal is to be able to demonstrate phenotypical differences through a variety of algorithms. Some of the challenges arise from the difficulty of imaging thick tissue sections with optical microscopes, other arise from the ill-posed nature of the problem. The presentation will describe the reconstruction of structures at the cellular scale in the murine breast tissue. Where appropriate he will describe the lurking high performance challenges faced in such endeavors.
