Overview
A Challenge is a competition organized by a company or institution, in which a specific problem is submitted to participants along with a dataset. The goal is for participants to make the best possible use of the data to provide the most effective solution to the problem.
France-BioImaging organized its first Challenge in 2024 with “Light My Cells”, a challenge aiming to develop a solution to predict the best-focused output-images of several fluorescently labelled organelles from label-free transmitted light input-images.
The second Challenge, “Fuse My Cells,” launched in 2025, aims to predict a fused 3D image using only one or two available 3D views, providing a practical solution to the limitations of current microscopy techniques.
The third Challenge is a new version of “Light My Cells”. Building on feedback from the first edition, “Light My Cells 2” features more actin and tubulin images and introduces a cytoplasm channel. A second task will explore whether time-series transmitted-light images can improve fluorescence prediction.
