Imaging Sciences Laboratory
Chief: Benes Trus, Ph.D.
The Imaging Sciences Laboratory (ISL)
- Develops and applies advanced imaging methods and algorithms to biomedical
images which range from the entire body to the molecular level.
- Creates and implements innovative software technology for clinical, animal,
and laboratory imaging.
- Collaborates in the design and implementation of computational techniques
for microscopic imaging and biomolecular structure determination.
- Advances the application of high-performance computing to computationally
demanding imaging problems.
- Manages the CIT Image Processing Facility (IPF), which is used to develop software for NIH Intramural
Research Program (IRP).
- Consults and collaborates with NIH intramural researchers to share computing
methods, technologies, and ideas for new imaging methodologies.
The ISL is loosely divided into one section and one group.
- The Biomedical Imaging Research Services Section (BIRSS) is responsible for the continued
development of a sophisticated image processing and visualization application
that is comprehensive, extensible, and platform-independent. This application
provides the foundation and tools needed to assist NIH intramural researchers
with the processing of hypothesis-driven research data. Development includes
the implementation of known solutions, algorithms, or methods to quickly and
efficiently meet the needs of our collaborators. However, to meet unique requirements,
the group develops novel methods and algorithms.
- The Imaging Science in Structural Biology Group (ISSBG)
is responsible for the applications of imaging science to structural
biology. This includes developing new applications, creating new algorithms,
and collaborating with intramural research scientists. Collaborations include
structural biology, virology, electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, 3-dimensional
reconstruction methods, optimization theory, high-performance computing, and
imaging science.
