project will expand on recent advances made at MMU and the
Institute for Reproductive Medicine at the University of
Warwick in microscopic embryological data processing and
visualization. The aim of the current research is to develop a
more detailed understanding of the molecular basis of the
changing 3D organization of developing. The student will
develop method<s>s</s> for semi-automatic segmentation
targeted at 3D microscopic embryological datasets, with
implementation and testing on real pre-existing datasets.
Based on the segmentation results, the student will then
create physically based 3D models of embryo shapes and inner
structures. The segmentation and visualization of the number,
shape and size of blastomeres and nuclei will provide valuable
information about the potential viability of the embryo, and
will assist embryologists to understand the mechanisms of
developmental failure. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
