local resources

Turku BioImaging Image Data team offers the following services

  1. Image analysis consultation
  2. Image analysis pipelines
  3. Analysis as a service

Each project will be initiated with a project meeting between IDAT staff and a researcher, where project details and goals are defined. Service project can be initiated with a consultation package, during which IDAT will test preliminary data and look for a suitable workflow. After the consultation package, the next steps are defined. The next steps could be IDAT creating an analysis pipeline for the researcher or the whole analysis can be done by IDAT. Project duration and costs are estimated according to the project meeting or the consultation package and provided to the research prior to initiation.
