Program:
Improved technology for imaging of cells and related targets is having a dramatic impact on
pharmaceutical R&D, driven in part by the demand for greater speed, precision, and automation.
Novel strategies for labels, better software for image enhancement and analysis, and progress
integrating imaging with other laboratory functions are being applied to a growing range of
applications. Advantages in such diverse segments as microscopy, cytology, and cellular analysis, as
well as more applied uses such as assessment of gels and drug development screening, will be
discussed. All of these activities share a similar goal of rapidly and correctly translating images into
data that can be stored, used, compared, and manipulated with as much ease and as little human
intervention as possible. These development promise to have a dramatic impact on laboratory
productivity and any research manager involved in these segments should consider participating.
