Cilia Segmentation

Our task is to design an algorithm that learns how to segment cilia. Cilia are microscopic hairlike structures that protrude from literally every cell in your body. They beat in regular, rhythmic patterns to perform myriad tasks, from moving nutrients in to moving irritants out to amplifying cell-cell signaling pathways to generating calcium fluid flow in early cell differentiation. Cilia, and their beating patterns, are increasingly being implicated in a wide variety of syndromes that affected multiple organs. Connecting ciliary motion with clinical phenotypes is an extremely active area of research. We’ll try to address a very small slice of it here.

The final Goal : FIND THAT CILIA
