DESCRIPTION:Dr Kevin Yamauchi\, Dr Guillaume Witz\, Dr Loïc Royer\nPro
 gram \n10h00-10h30 Welcome\, Coffee\n10h30-11h30 Introduction of Napari\,
  The Story of Napari: Past\, Present and Future by Loïc Royer\n11h45-13h0
 0 Lunch\n13h00-16h30 How to build Napari widgets and plugins in Python by 
 Kevin Yamauchi and Guillaume Witz\n\nPre-requisites: knowledge of Napari 
 and Python\n\nRegistration required\n\nKevin Yamauchi Biography: \nKevin 
 Yamauchi is a postdoctoral scholar at ETH Zurich. He develops computationa
 l methods for quantifying tissue architecture from imaging and spatial omi
 cs data. Using these methods in collaboration with biologists and theoreti
 cians\, he studies the physical mechanisms that shape and constrain tissue
 s. Additionally\, he is on the steering council and core development team 
 of napari\, a performant\, multidimensional image viewer.\n\nGuillaume Wit
 z Biography: \nGuillaume Witz is a senior scientist at the Data Science L
 ab of the University of Bern. After several years of research in biophysic
 s and microbiology\, he now supports researchers who work with imaging dat
 a across various fields (biology\, geography etc.) by developing custom an
 alysis software for them. He also regularly organises trainings for scient
 ists in data analysis and visualisation\, machine learning etc. with a spe
 cific focus on the Python scientific computing ecosystem. Guillaume has be
 en an enthusiastic early adopter of napari which he uses daily to develop 
 user interfaces to make image processing methods more accessible to scient
 ists.\n\nLoic Royer Biography: \nRoyer first studied engineering\, math\,
  and physics in his native France. He then obtained a master’s degree in
  artificial intelligence\, specializing in cognitive robotics\, followed b
 y a Ph.D. in bioinformatics from the Dresden University of Technology in G
 ermany. As a member of Gene Myers’ lab\, first at HHMI’s Janelia Resea
 rch Campus and then at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology 
 and Genetics\, he developed the first “self-driving” multi-view light-
 sheet microscope. Royer is fascinated by a seemingly simple but quite comp
 lex question: How do organisms develop from a single cell into a fully fun
 ctional body with billions of self-organizing cells that form tissues and 
 have different functions? He believes that solving this question will requ
 ire expertise across computer science\, advanced microscopy\, and biology.
  To that end\, Royer’s pluridisciplinary team designs and builds novel s
 tate-of-the-art light-sheet microscopes\, develops deep learning-based ima
 ge processing and analysis algorithms\, and is using these technologies to
  build a time-resolved and multimodal atlas of vertebrate development\, us
 ing zebrafish as model organisms.
