A research team including many researchers from the CERVO Brain Research Centre and Université Laval just published a new machine learning approach to optimize super-resolution microscopy images.  The researchers published this important innovation in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, and made the tool available online for the scientific community by publishing their code. 

 

 

 

«We considered making this a commercial product, but the idea of sharing this tool to promote the advancement of knowledge fits more with our values, explains Flavie Lavoie-Cardinal, senior author of the publication.  We even offer technical support to those who will use it. »
