Dear All,
Please consider sending an abstract to QBI 2020 conference. I have attended the past two years and enjoyed it very much. It focuses on the quantitative aspects of bioimaging and so is very relevant to this community of bioimage analysts. The abstract deadline
has been extended to the 9th September.
Best wishes,
Dominic.
Dear Colleague,
The abstract submission deadline for QBI
2020 in Oxford, UK, will be
September 1, 2019. The conference will be
held 6-9 January 2020 with the
first day being a workshop day.
We seek contributions in any area of quantitative
microscopy. Presentations
that demonstrate new approaches and methodologies
are particularly welcome,
including but not limited to algorithmic
and software developments,
physical modeling approaches, etc. The use
of quantitative imaging
techniques in biological applications is
also of great interest. For
submission details, please see the conference
website
