Cell observation forms the foundation of biological and medical research. While microscopes have been used for centuries, observing cells proves surprisingly challenging - they are essentially transparent and invisible to conventional microscopy. Staining cells makes them visible but potentially alters their natural state, leaving researchers uncertain whether observed behaviours reflect genuine cellular activity or staining artifacts.
On June 1, 2025, the Centre for Credible AI (CCAI) officially commenced operations at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT).
