DESCRIPTION

Anne Carpenter, a computational biologist and senior director of the Imaging Platform of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, brings the power of machine learning to researchers seeking answers in mountains of cell images. She developed CellProfiler, a widely used open-source software for measuring phenotypes (sets of observable traits) from cell images. It has been cited in more than 12,000 publications since its release in 2005.
