Kevin Eliceiri

Kevin Eliceiri is an American scientist specializing in biological image analysis. He is the principal investigator of the Eliceiri Lab at the University of Wisconsin Madison. He is also the Director of UW-Madison's Center for Quantitive Cell Imaging and Director of the Morgridge Institute's FabLab.

Biography Eliceiri received his Bachelors (Bacteriology), Masters (Microbiology), and PhD (Bioimage Informatics) from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, training under the guidance of Professor John White on the role of calmodulin signaling during cytokinesis. Early in his career, he served as an information processing consultant for UW-Madison's integrated Microscopy Resource Center, eventually becoming a project manager for the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation, the lab which he now directs.

Eliceiri has conducted research on computational and optical approaches to live cell imaging for over two decades, with a focus on multidimensional fluorescence approaches for cell studies and image informatics tools for image analysis. One focus of his research is to developing and applying non- invasive optical and computational approaches for understanding the role of the cellular microenvironment in normal and diseased processes.
