HWNI member Eric Betzig, professor of molecular & cell biology and physics, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014 for the development of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. His microscopy techniques produce incredibly detailed videos of living tissue, including entire brains, in four dimensions — three of space and one of time. But the massive amount of data generated by these microscopes is challenging to analyze.
In a profile from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), Betzig discusses how he is now working to build an AI model to help scientists interpret this complex 4D data so they can use it to advance our understanding of biology, and also for applications such as drug development.
