Title: CCB Seminar Series

Speaker:  Trevor Manz, PhD Candidate & NSF Research Fellow, DBMI HMS

 Topic: Interactive, web-based visualization of high-resolution multiplexed bioimaging data

Abstract:  Although the rapid innovation of biological imaging brings significant scientific value, the proliferation of technologies without unification of interoperable standards has created challenges that limit the analysis and sharing of results. In this talk, I will discuss our work on 1.) community-driven design and adoption of open-standard next-generation file formats and 2.) the open-source Viv bioimaging visualization library which supports OME-TIFF and OME-NGFF directly in the web browser. Viv addresses a critical limitation of most web-based bioimaging viewers by removing a dependency on server-side rendering, offering a flexible toolkit for browsing multi-terabyte datasets on both mobile and desktop devices—without software installation.
