Royer Group: Organismal Architecture
How do organisms develop from a single cell into a fully functional body, with billions of self-organizing cells that form tissues and have different functions?
Our Research
We are a pluridisciplinary team of computer scientists, optical engineers, and biologists.
Our goal is to build a time-resolved, multidimensional atlas of vertebrate development using zebrafish as a model organism.
To attain this goal, we design, build, and implement novel state-of-the-art light-sheet microscopes, and employ and also design deep learning–based image processing and analysis algorithms.
Bioimage Informatics
Deep learning-based image restoration, 5D bioimage visualization, GPU-accelerated image processing
Advanced Microscopy
Light-sheet microscopy, single objective microscopy, adaptive imaging, smart microscopy
Developmental Biology
