ITR Goals..
......While explicit categories will not be used in FY 2003, ITR will continue to support new awards in these previously targeted areas and will additionally emphasize the fundamental relationship between the acquisition and utilization of knowledge and the information tools needed to acquire, organize, and interpret that knowledge. The intent in FY 2003 is to stimulate research on the fundamental challenges facing the continued expansion and utilization of IT across the sciences and engineering, creation of novel use and development of IT, the interaction of IT with society at large, and the use of IT to enhance security and reduce the vulnerabilities of our society to catastrophic events, whether natural or man-made.

Focus onTissue and Cell Biology (Vertebrate Retina)Sub-cellular OrganizationDynamic Cellular Processes (Microtubules)
Goal: Develop Generic tools and methods for a broad range of bio-images
March 22, 2006
Focus on Vertebrate Retina•Images of vertebrate retina offer a fertile collection of data from sub-cellular, cellular
and tissue levels that are representative of the bio-informatics challenges presented by modern bio-molecular research
Different antibodies or antibodycombinations provide informationabout specific cell types and their reaction to retinal injury

Focus on Microtubule ImagesImages of dynamic microtubules in living cells provide an excellent collection for the development of improved data acquisition, image analysis tools and statistical modeling for many dynamic cellular processes
Immunofluorescence images: MCF-7 cells, showing co-localization of microtubules (green) and microtubule-associated protein tau (red).

CMU: Focus on subcellular location
* Comparing, Classifying, Clustering Subcellular Location Patterns in Space and Time
* Difficult image analysis problems due to heterogeneity of patterns from cell to cell
* Analysis of large scale collections required (~20,000 proteins in just one cell type)
* Critical information for Systems Biology
12
March 22, 2006
Information Processing Challenges
• Vast number of images generated
• very few get published
• a majority of them are not accessible to other researchers
• tools to easily manage such data are urgently needed
• basic image processing and pattern recognition tools
• database tools to manage images
• sharing and collaboration

Centers for Bio-Image Informatics
• Advancing the Image Informatics Technologies for bio-images
• About half way through the project
• Initial focus datasets
• to define and evaluate progress on IT
• Many of them easily generalize to a larger class of problems (e.g., basic schemas, image analysis methods, etc.)
• Actively exploring collaborations outside of the ITR participants (U. Utah, U. Tennessee, Scripps, UCSD, ..)
15
March 22, 2006
Interdisciplinary Education• Biologists and Engineers engaged in
interdisciplinary research
• Engineering students attend regular biology lab meetings• Engineers trained in introductory biology and bioimaging
• industry sponsored workshop at UCSB
• Intro Biology course for engineers
• advanced bioimaging course with Engineering/CS + Bio students
• Graduate biology students exposed to Image Processing & Pattern Recognition tools
• Collaborations with industry (Asylum, Olympus)• CMU Center (CBI) University-wide Bioimaging day
event held each year to disseminate results and create new collaborations

Education Outreach
• UCSB
• Summer undergraduate research program
• over 20 students from California State Universities
• 8 of these students continuing to graduate studies
• Expanded to include high school students in 2005
