Eric Wexler
Eric J.Wexler is a biological researcher with a focus on drug discovery. During his twenty-five year career at DuPont, DuPont-Merck Pharmaceuticals, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, he created and ran imaging facilities for drug discovery. He developed and validated imaging methods supporting his own research as well as work for other scientists in the fields of cardiovascular disease, oncology, stroke, and medical imaging. He has written and contributed to peer-reviewed research papers, white papers, and Photoshop User magazine. Eric became a founding member of Adobe's Biomedical Image Advisory Group in 2006. He runs a consulting practice that creates training content for biological researchers and advising companies that offer products and services supporting biomedical research.

Most recently he has validated biomarkers using Digital Pathology Systems for oncology.

Pharmaceutical research scientist and member of The Digital Imaging Institute, Eric J. Wexler shares his experience creating detailed biomedical imaging in Photoshop CS3 Extended for Biomedical Research. Eric shows how to use Photoshop CS3's selection, analysis, and editing tools to evaluate an image's color composition, modify images for research, optimize exposure with levels and curves, transform images with layers, and compensate for acquisition problems and limitations. Eric also explains how to add reference information to images, annotate and optimize DICOM animations, and share finished images with colleagues. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.

Topics include:
  • Understanding imaging in biomedical research
  • Getting started in Photoshop
  • Organizing digital assets
  • Working with image stacks
  • Evaluating image color and histograms
  • Modifying images for research
  • Compensating for acquisition problems and limitations
  • Adding reference information to images
  • Sharing work
  • Optimizing and creating a DICOM image or animation

Photoshop CS3 Extended Projects: Research Methods and Workflows

Veteran research scientist and past Adobe Biomedical Image Advisory Group member Eric J. Wexler shows how to use Photoshop CS3 for detailed research and presentations with hands-on examples. Eric evaluates gel images, penetration model samples, autoradiographs, and measurement recording and workflows, he also demonstrates how to create and apply a standard curve. Exercise files accompany the course.



Topics include:
  • Conducting gel analysis
  • Comparing analysis of bands
  • Determining an affected area
  • Outputting data
  • Understanding a penetration model
  • Combining images from different acquisition systems
  • Recording measurements from samples
  • Creating and applying a standard curve
  • Determining experimental activity
