With our Helmholtz Imaging Projects, Helmholtz Foundation Model Initiative (HFMI) and third-party funded projects, we aim to initiate cross-cutting research collaborations and identify innovative research topics in the field of imaging and data science.
Helmholtz Imaging offers a funding line of Helmholtz Imaging Projects, striving to seed collaborations between centers and across research fields. They are a strong incentive to enable interdisciplinary collaboration across the Helmholtz Association and an incubator and accelerator of the Helmholtz Imaging network.
In addition to our Helmholtz Imaging Projects, the Helmholtz Imaging team has secured external funding for third-party projects contributing their knowledge and expertise on cutting-edge imaging methodology.
Join us in unlocking the limitless potential of Helmholtz Imaging!
The next call for Helmholtz Imaging Projects is OPEN until July 30, 2025. Find out more about the project call in this summary.
Advancing Visual Foundation Models for Multi-/Hyperspectral Image Analysis in Agriculture/Forestry
The project aims to make advanced AI models accessible for Hyperspectral Earth Observation, reducing computational demands, and improving environmental assessments through user-friendly interfaces.3D Reconstruction from defocused cryo-EM images
This project explores how defocused images recorded with an electron microscope can be used to reconstruct the 3D structure of molecules inside cells. This method aims to enable faster and more cost-effective structural analysis of molecules to accelerate understanding of their functions and to design drugs against them.Automated image-based Detection of Early Toxicity Events in Zebrafish Larvae
ImageTox wants to establish an automated image-based system to assess zebrafish larval development. This will allow for a fast and unbiased evaluation of pathophysiological events during toxicological studies. To achieve this, the imaging process has to be optimized and a reliable model for sequence recognition based on deep learning has to be developed.Behavioral Standard Metadata
Developing metadata standards and FAIR analysis pipelines for Video Tracking Assays (VTAs) in toxicology and medical sciences
