Interview: Junel Solis, Head of Image Data Analysis in Turku BioImaging

Junel Solis, Head Image Data Analyst at the Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node of Euro-BioImaging in Turku, gave an interview to Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador Pablo Suarez-Cortes (Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin) about how he supports researchers by managing and analysing complex image datasets across diverse scientific fields.

Junel shared how his work spans traditional biological microscopy and unconventional projects — from cancer research to marine biology and agriculture — turning complex imaging data into scientific discoveries. Key challenges include interpreting unfamiliar datasets accurately with researcher input and handling increasingly massive, multi-dimensional image files efficiently.

Junel, who trained as a medical doctor before moving into biomedical and biological imaging, values the constant problem-solving and interdisciplinary collaboration his role offers. If you want to know more, read the full interview here and get inspired.
