CZI Imaging Team Builds Open-Source Tools for 100 TB of Daily Imaging Data
In brief
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative imaging technology team builds and maintains open-source tools to handle the roughly 100 TB of data that advanced imaging generates each day. The team works across the full pipeline, from microscope acquisition to post-processing, helping scientists visualize, explore and analyze complex imaging data. Software engineer Nathan Clack stresses collaboration with developers worldwide to provide tools for researchers who lack access to resources, in order to accelerate science.
Why it matters
Open-source imaging tools address a daily data scale of about 100 TB.
