With deep sadness we inform you that our member Johan Debayle passed away on September 5, 2024. Johan was an active member of the ISSIA Board and an associated editor in Image Analysis & Stereology journal. He was a professor at the Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT), deputy director of the Georges Friedel Laboratory and the Center for the Science of Industrial and Natural Processes (SPIN) at Mines Saint-Étienne and an adjunct professor at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Indonesia.
His close colleagues wrote the paper in his memory that was published in IAS: https://www.ias-iss.org/ojs/IAS/article/view/3641/1240
The next event in the series of conferences on stereology and related topics will be held in Prague (Czech Republic), September 15-18, 2025, this time as the 14th European Congress for Stereology and Image Analysis (ECSIA). The tradition of stereological conferences held in Czechoslovakia and th...
The 2025 Workshop directed by Daniel A. Peterson is offered on May 12-16, 2025. The course is organized to be held virtually. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive background in the theory and practice of modern histological preparation and microscopic analysis for researchers in biomedical science and addresses current AI approaches. The registration is discounted for ISSIA members.

The International Society for Stereology and Image Analysis (ISSIA) organizes a PhD competition intended to recognize a PhD conducted in the area of stereology and/or image analysis. The competition is open to PhD students who defended their thesis after September 1st 2021. In addition, it is requ...
Regular aerobic exercise could significantly reduce disease markers associated with Alzheimer’s, new research led by scientists at the University of Bristol (UK) and the Federal University of São Paulo (Brazil) has found. The findings provide new hope in the battle against this devastating disorder....
María García-Amado and Javier Bernacer published a book Advances in Stereology for Neuroscience that discusses the latest advancements used in various stereological methods to study different neural structures. The chapters in this book cover topics such as microglia measurements, estimation of ax...
Luis Manuel Cruz-Orive published a book Stereology - Theory and Applications that presents a comprehensive set of methods for quantifying geometric quantities such as the volume of a tumor, the total surface area of the alveoli in a lung, the length of plant roots, or of blood vessels, the number...
This is an intensive workshop directed to biologists, medical doctors, psychologists, biotechnologists and, in general, to anyone interested in hands-on training on the fundaments and practical applications of Stereology. The students will learn about how to sample and measure bias-free on 3D struct...
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jean-Louis Chermant, former Vice President for Europe (1984-1988) and President of the International Society of Stereology (1988-1991), who died on August 11th, 2024.
During his academic career at Caen University, Jean-Louis Chermant conducted pioneering work on the application of image analysis and mathematical morphology to materials science. His expertise has made a significant impact in the field, particularly through his numerous books and scientific articles. His book, "Précis d'analyse d'image," co-authored with Michel Coster, has become a seminal reference in the field.
Jean-Louis Chermant leaves behind a valuable legacy that will continue to inspire and guide researchers and students. We will remember him not only for his outstanding scientific contributions but also for his dedication and passion for research. Jean-Louis Chermant helped many young scientists at the begining of their research. They remain indebted to him.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
