*Description *- VirtualStain is a project funded under thematic call for
strategic funding by UiT The Arctic University of Norway. It involves
developing AI solutions for segmenting, identity allocation, and modeling
of the processes of sub-cellular structures such as mitochondria in cells
and cellular structures in tissues using label-free images and videos of
cells and tissues. Interpreting life processes and label-free images of
cells and tissues is a daunting task. The PhD students will work on the
following problem:

Images of unlabeled samples appear as gray scale images devoid of color,
texture, and edges. Therefore, they lack features conventionally used in
deep models for identification of individual structures. New suitably
designed and trained intelligence models have to be developed specific to
the chosen label-free imaging technology. If conventional AI approaches
such as deep learning and generative networks are used, large training
dataset with correlated image sets of labeled and label-free images are
needed, which is a significant challenge. There is a need of new out-of-box
AI solutions that derive and improve intelligence, as new data becomes
available.
