Excited to share our new paper (CVPR 2026 🚀): "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
We opened 4 PhD positions at @humantechnopole.bsky.social together with Polimi (see 👇).
My lab offers a PhD project on "Computational Morphogenesis": use state-of-the-art machine learning methods together with realistic simulations to build digital twins of developing tissue.
Apply by March 26.

🔬🔦Our latest ‘Imaging spotlight’, by @carlesbosch.bsky.social, Ana Diaz, @adrianawanner.bsky.social & @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social, highlights the non-destructive X-ray tomography pipeline that the authors developed to map mouse brain ultrastructure & considers future applications & developments.
Microscopy Bat signal!
I want to compile a list of biological samples that demonstrate microscope capabilities, including the reagents to generate them. Please send me anything you know of!! Beads are great for QC, but there's a different teaching benefit with biology. 1/n
20-plex volumetric super-resolution imaging of cellular ultrastructure. Preprint, led by @seweryn-galecki.bsky.social, dropping soon.
Surprise mother$#@%er!
Q: What does this mean for neural systems to understand them?
A: We absolutely need the wiring diagram. All synapses, chemical and electrical.
#Connectomics
Happy that we could contribute to this amazing study.
💥I am excited to present our first research paper from the lab about caveolae lipid trafficking 🎉 Led by my fantastic PhD candidate @estherocket.bsky.social
Here we looked into caveolae mediated dietary lipid uptake and how this process is mechanistically facilitated 👇 1/n
Our Method of the Year 2025 is...drumroll please...EM-based connectomics!!
Our Editorial introduces our choice and highlights six Comments and other related content in this special issue. Please join us in celebrating EM-based connectomics! 🎉🧠🔬

The TUD has made a very nice video in their "Kurze Frage" series featuring PLID member Andreas Müller where he explains how insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and why this is important in diabetes (German only)
#TUDresden #DiabetesResearch #PLID #HelmholztzMunich
Here is a short video by @tudresden.bsky.social (in German) of me explaining what beta cells do and talking about our research on investigating the structural features of their function and dysfunction.
Interested in applying U-ExM to cells, tissues, organoids, or cryo-sections? Our EMBO workshop is open for applications!

Scientific journals: we don’t want you using generative AI because it makes shit up.
Same journal: here is an AI summary or evaluation of this paper. This might be more useful than the actual abstract or paper that the authors freaking wrote
Same journal: AI cover art which makes no sense? Oooh!

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.
It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:
Das ist ein ganz kleiner Teil einer Langerhans'schen Insel, die unseren Blutzuckerspiegel reguliert. Eine Insel besteht aus etwa 1000 hormonproduzierenden Zellen. Man sieht in der Animation 2 Betazellen (mit Insulin) einen Teil eines Blutgefäßes und einen Teil einer Nervenzelle (Axon).
My new ImageJ / Fiji toolkit is out 🔥! The goal is to make image handling & visualization easy, with an intuitive interface! Install it on Fiji with the "Image Viewer" update site

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work.
LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.
We are looking for motivated #postdocs to join the lab! Biochemistry/microbiology/cryo-EM experience? Excited by #cryo-EM/ET, #chromatin? ❄️🧬🧫
Interdisciplinary projects, top EMBL facilities!
