E11 is thrilled to welcome Will Patton as our newest Machine Learning Scientist!! Before E11, Will worked at Janelia and contributed significantly to gunpowder, daisy and volara, three libraries that simplify training and application of machine learning to large microscopy volumes Welcome, Will!

Thanks to AWS for hosting our data sets as described in their blog post:

Proud of @e11bio.bsky.social's early progress here, and excited for so much more to come (that I've seen previews of as a FRO board member 😍).

Optics + expansion + barcoding + AI + molecules = beginning of infinity for scalable brain circuit mapping, with wide implications across science.

All the DNA from our preprint is available on @addgene.bsky.social!

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves.

E11 welcomes Michelle Wu to our brain mapping team! Michelle just finished her BASc in Biomedical Engineering at University of Toronto. Her research experience includes UofT, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and a previous year with us at E11. We're super excited to have her back.

This week we’re thrilled to welcome Victor Holmes to the E11 team as our new Chief of Staff!

Victor brings deep experience in scientific operations, project strategy, and team management. He’ll help build the connective tissue that supports our progress toward mammalian connectomics. Welcome!

This summer we welcome Julia Lyudchik and Jakob Troidl to the team!

Julia got her PhD at ISTA developing light microscopy visualization and reconstruction methods: LIONESS, CATS & LICONN.

Jakob is a PhD candidate at Harvard University interested in data visualization and applied machine learning.

We're excited to welcome Jeff Chen and JinYoung Lee to the team! 🎉

Both are University of Toronto undergrads joining us for a gap year. Jeff will work on barcode design and viral payloads, while JinYoung will focus on expansion microscopy and imaging.

"Academic research groups and startups are essential drivers of scientific progress. But some projects, like the Hubble Space Telescope or the Human Genome Project, are too big for any one academic lab or loose consortium..."

E11 Bio is launching Volara: an open-source Python library for block-wise processing of large volumetric microscopy datasets! 🧪🔬

Volara features block-wise task abstractions, making scalable image processing more accessible, robust, and repeatable.

✨E11 Bio is hiring a Chief of Staff / Project Manager!

This unique role blends scientific project management with day-to-day operations—and gives you a front-row seat and bird’s-eye view as we advance the field of connectomics toward mammalian brains.

Job posting: jobs.lever.co/convergentre...

Our work in connectomics is featured in @asimovpress.bsky.social! We’re building new tools to map the brain with greater precision and scale!

We're hiring! Join our team as an Image Data Scientist and help create stunning and impactful connectomic datasets! 🧠✨

🧪 E11 Bio is excited to share a major step towards brain mapping at 100x lower cost, making whole-brain connectomics at human & mouse scale feasible (🧠→🔬→💻). Critical for curing brain disorders, building human-like AI systems, and even simulating human brains.
