GE Healthcare announced the winners of the 2009 IN Cell Image Competition at the High Content Analysis (HCA) Conference in San Francisco, USA. Each of the three regional winners, from Asia, Europe and North America, has won a trip to New York City in March 2010 to see their images shown on NBC's high-definition TV screen in Times Square. This year's competition saw over 70 beautiful images generated by scientists from around the world using the IN Cell Analyzer system. An expert scientific panel, short-listed 30 entries, which were then opened to public vote and to delegates at the leading HCA Conference in San Francisco. This year's competition was again supported by BioTechniques.
High Content Analysis (HCA) has become essential in many areas of life science research and drug discovery. HCA employs cellular assays in a high throughput imaging and analysis format, which facilitates more complex experiments in true biological context, and helps scientists get better data and learn more about cellular systems more quickly.
