NYSBC Label-athon:
Advancing Cryo-EM
Particle Picking with Topaz

April 24-26, 2024

About conference

The NYSBC Label-athon 2024 workshop, hosted at the FlatIron Institute in the heart of New York City, from April 24-26, 2024.

Workshop Highlights [TL;DR]:

  • Understanding the Cryo-EM pipeline from theory to practice.
  • Insights and discussion with renowned Cryo-EM experts.
  • Active participation in creating a multi-label dataset for ML advancements.
  • Co-authorship opportunity in a pioneering publication.
This three-day event offers a unique blend of theoretical insights and hands-on experiences in the exciting field of cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). You'll be guided through the theory of cryo-ET process, from specimen preparation to data acquisition, and computational processing. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding of Cryo-ET, this workshop offers valuable insights and knowledge to enhance your expertise.

It's not just learning; it's about making a real impact. A key component of our workshop is the introduction of the "Label-athon" initiative. A hands-on session dedicated to showcasing our cutting-edge active learning workflow for particle picking from Cryo-ET images. This workflow would involve human-in-the-loop approach which with the help of participants would allow us to interacts with machine learning algorithm to actively refine our model and create multi-particle curated datasets. By contributing to this dataset, participants will not only gain practical experience in particle picking but also have the opportunity to be co-authors of a groundbreaking publication.
