We tried other brands but nothing works quite like a Guinness for our light sheet microscope.
Future collab?
We are getting serious about analysis. Today Hunter Elliott and @florianjug.bsky.social introduce machine learning and AI. Itโs not magic, itโs computers.
Look mum, I made it!!! ๐ ๐ @ellis.eu @humantechnopole.bsky.social
The Human Technopole brings together the expertise, infrastructure, and compute needed to develop AI across biological scales and data modalities. Below a ๐งต that explains what we have in mind.
We are just getting started and are keen to hear from people who want to help shape our vision!

We're deeply committed to building things people outside our lab actually use. Via AI4Life and the Bioimage Model Zoo, we turn methods into open, FAIR tools. If you care about that โ not just publishing, but building โ you'll love it here! 8/9
The team: 5+ AI heavy groups and a ton of biomedical experts, superstars in their respective field! Embedded in a network with EMBL, SciLifeLab, Max Planck, Janelia. And yes โ we're in Milan. That doesn't hurt either. ๐ฎ๐น 7/9
This sits inside HT's Scientific AI Flagship โ connecting all of HTโs research Centres and Flagships on Ciliopathies, Cardiometabolic Disease & Evolving Disease, plus national facilities in Structural Biology, Genomics & Light Imaging. A rare setup under one roof. 6/9
Real projects already running: multimodal breast cancer risk prediction (imaging + EHR), AI for integrating cryo-ET & spatial omics of cilia, generative spectral unmixing to image more with less light, and a multimodal Alzheimer's atlas from 20,000+ histology slides. 5/9
Methodologically, we build on:
โ Uncertainty-aware posterior models.
โ Representation learning and multimodal latent spaces.
โ Physics-informed, cross-scale, causal AI.
โ Commitment to open, FAIR, usable tools.
All this built on Transformers, SSMs, flows, GenAI, and all the methods we all love. 4/9
Our long-term goal: take a cryo-EM structure, a spatial transcriptome, and a patient EHR. Then predict which molecular perturbations will alter disease progression, with calibrated uncertainty at every step. We're not there yet. But every project we launch is a step toward that. 3/9
Excellent #AI tools exist for microscopy. Others for single-cell omics, spatial transcriptomics, clinical prediction. But biology doesn't respect those boundaries. Disease emerges from molecular events rippling through cells, tissues, organs, populations. We need AI that connects those scales. 2/9
We've spent the last year building something at @humantechnopole.bsky.social that we think is genuinely needed: #AI that works across biological scales and data modalities, not just within them. A thread on what we're doing, why, and who we're looking for. A ๐งต... 1/9

You are into disease risk prediction based on images or other data modalities? This is for you! ๐ซต

It's out! Happy to present ITEC, a semi supervised algorithm with an extremely low error rate that can track cells in files of any size (think Terabytes!). We used it in many organisms, including zebrafish, to study how organs form and linked it to gene expression www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... +๐งช
Excited to share our new paper (CVPR 2026 ๐): "MuViT: Multi-Resolution Vision Transformers for Learning Across Scales in Microscopy" which enables local predictions to use global context.
Great work led by @albertdm.bsky.social & another fun collab w @gioelelamanno.bsky.social! @scadsai.bsky.social
Does anyone ever get used seeing and hearing themselves?
Other than the emotional self-cringe, the video is done super well! Thanks MIND! ๐

Proud and excited to share our work with the community! Helen @helenfoster.bsky.social Foster et al. study how #cilia axonemes are built. ๐ Don't miss the gorgeous and insightful movies by @margotriggi.bsky.social, they really show our discoveries in full action!

๐ง #AI works best when itโs shared! The @ai4life.bsky.social project, co-led by our @florianjug.bsky.social, and Anna Kreshuk @embl.org, received the highest possible score in the @ec.europa.euโs final review.
๐ฌ With open, ready-to-use resources!
