New! v1.6 released!

Welcome to the Murphy lab at Carnegie Mellon University. The lab is a multidisciplinary environment with people working on projects in computational cell biology.

April 19, 2012	Postdoctoral positions available!
April 13, 2012	CellOrganizer v1.6 released! Supports 2D/3D images and vesicle and microtubule pattern models.
December 19, 2012	Dr. Murphy named to the NIH Council of Councils.
September 7, 2011	Murphy Lab member Luis Pedro Coelho named to the 2012 class of Siebel Scholars. The Siebel Scholars program recognizes the most talented students at the world's leading graduate schools of business, bioengineering, and computer science.
September 5, 2011	Video of Dr. Murphy's talk at the COMBINE 2011 meeting is available online.
January 10, 2011	Work from Murphy group featured in Nature Biotechnology article on Computational Biology breakthroughs in 2010.
September 18, 2010	Murphy Lab member Tao Peng wins the 2009 Research Award from Carnegie Mellon's Biomedical Engineering Department. One award is given each year to the BME graduate student judged to have the most outstanding research achievement.
July 11, 2010	New release 2.0 of PatternUnmixer (formerly called PUnmix). The new version supports reading images from OMERO servers, displaying object distributions, checking for the presence of unknown patterns, and exporting unmixing fractions. See the Software link.
August 22, 2009	Murphy Lab member Luis Pedro Coelho wins the CPCB Outstanding Research Achievement Award.
July 8, 2009	Collection of hand-segmented nuclear images and python code for comparing segmentation methods released. See the Software link.
July 1, 2009	New PSLID release containing images from over 2,500 clones generated by the RandTag project.
April 6, 2009	Releases of SLML Tools and PUnmix are available under the Software link. These packages implement learned, generative models of subcellular patterns and estimation of pattern unmixing fractions, respectively. Matlab source code, as well as compiled versions for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows, are available.

The primary focus of current work in the lab is on automated interpretation of fluorescence microscope images.

If you are interested in reading more about our work, a list of publications is available.

Slides from Dr. Murphy's tutorials at meetings like the ISAC Congress and the SBS Conference are available under the presentations link.

Select data generated from Murphy Lab projects is available for download.
