The goal of this project is to develop a pipeline to analyze timelapse images of live cells undergoing apoptosis. The pipeline will be able to detect cells, track them over time, and classify them as either apoptotic or non-apoptotic. Each dataset or acquisition condidtions of images each contains timelapse images of HeLa cells in a 96-well plate. These cells are treated with varying concentrations of staurosporine, a drug that induces apoptosis.
Staurosporine concentration (nM) | Number of replicates |
---|---|
0 | 3 |
0.61 | 3 |
1.22 | 3 |
2.44 | 3 |
