This three-year, $2.3 million project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services will support the development of deep learning and imaging-based methods to map biological networks at the single-cell level. Funded under the National Institute of General Medical Sciences' Biomedical Research and Research Training program, the California Institute of Technology will use large-scale image annotation, machine learning techniques, and cloud computing to solve key challenges in spatial genomics analysis. Specifically, the awardee will create whole-cell segmentation models for tissues and live-cell movies to standardize analysis across research platforms. Unsupervised learning methods will also identify cellular behaviors. Additionally, a CRISPR-display approach will link perturbations to imaging data at low magnification, enabling reverse genetic screens of hundreds of thousands of conditions with minimal data collection. Successful completion of these technical goals is expected to significantly advance the study of living systems at single-cell resolution through widespread adoption of imaging-based spatial analysis.
