Images of cells, when suitably stained, contain a vast amount of information about cellular state and are generated by the hundreds of thousands in experiments to determine the functions of genes and to identify useful chemicals for research and for therapeutics.

The Broad's Imaging Platform is a world leader in developing advanced methods to quantify and mine the rich information present in cellular images to yield biological discoveries. We develop open-source software tools and help biologists to apply them to significant questions in the life sciences.
