Professor of Cell Biology, Development and Physiology Eric Betzig and Assistant Professor in Residence of Cell Biology, Development and Physiology Srigokul “Gokul” Upadhyayula along with a team of microscopists, physicists, biologists and computer scientists in Berkeley’s Advanced Bioimaging Center are using high-resolution microscopes to train an AI model for living biological systems.
Excerpt from Berkeley News: "In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley campus, two bespoke microscopes — each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging — operate around the clock gathering data that will help train a game-changing technology for the field of biology: AI."

The images come from the first 3D videos of such an event, which was captured in cancerous pig epithelial cells. Photo credit: Advanced Bioimaging Center
