All images entered into the competition were generated using GE Healthcare’s IN Cell Analyzer, a High Content Analysis system that allows scientists to study cellular processes in their biological context. Three winners will be selected, one from each of North America, Europe, and Asia, who will receive an expenses paid trip for two to New York to see their image displayed in Times Square.
