Crick Bioimage Analysis Symposium 2026

Discover cutting-edge image analysis techniques at the seventh edition of CBIAS, where biomedical researchers and leading developers will demonstrate how these methods can transform your research.

Modern microscopy allows for the acquisition of large, multi-dimensional datasets, revolutionising biomedical research. However, the complexity of automated analysis pipelines can be a barrier for many life scientists. Our symposium aims to bridge this gap by showcasing how advanced image analysis can answer key biological questions and enhance research outcomes.

Symposium Highlights:

• Explore the potential of image analysis in biomedical research.
• Connect with experts and peers in the field.
• Learn about the latest tools and techniques

CBIAS features a mix of invited and selected talks, poster sessions, and panel discussions focused on current topics in image analysis and image processing for microscopy and computational microscopy. We place a major emphasis on promoting early-career researchers, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their work to a wide audience.

Approximate Timeline:

• March – Registrations open
• End of August – Abstract submission deadline
• Late September – Speakers selected from abstracts notified
• Early October – Programme finalised

CBIAS Workshop:

On Wednesday, November 25 and Thursday, November 26, we will host a hands-on, day-long introductory workshop on napari. More information will be available soon
