Dra. Caterina Fuster-Barceló
I am a postdoctoral researcher in computational bioimage analysis at the Uhlmann Group and the BioVision Center, University of Zurich.
My work focuses on foundation models, efficient adaptation, reproducible AI, and practical deployment for microscopy and bioimage analysis. I am interested in building robust, efficient, and transferable methods that can support real scientific workflows, and my profile combines methodological research with software, training, and community-facing contributions such as the BioImage Model Zoo.
Research Profile
- Computational bioimage analysis and AI for microscopy
- Foundation models, transfer, and efficient adaptation across imaging domains
- Reproducible AI methods that can be deployed in practical analysis workflows
- Community-facing resources that help make advanced methods usable and reusable
