Requirements to the exam -

For the final assessment, participants will prepare an individual project that demonstrates their ability to design and describe a bioimage analysis workflow.

The project will contain several parts.

  1. Definition of a research question – Clearly state the biological problem to be analyzed.
  2. Pick up a dataset and software - Choose from provided datasets or use your own.
  3. Design a step-by-step workflow for image of image analysis to solve the given task.
