Summary
Lassi Paavolainen is a Principal Investigator based in Helsinki with 10+ years of experience developing novel machine learning and deep learning methods for profiling microscopy images of cells and tissues. He leads the Bioimage Profiling lab at FIMM where his work spans supervised and unsupervised learning, segmentation, classification and generalist models applied to fluorescence microscopy of cancer samples. His background combines hands-on software development (Python/C++), open-source bioimage tool development, and leadership of imaging facilities and research projects, bridging methodological research and applied profiling pipelines. Notably, he has steered both high-content imaging units and AI efforts that translate electron and light microscopy innovations into practical assays for drug sensitivity and virus detection.
