In the rapidly evolving field of bioimaging, the integration and orchestration of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) image analysis workflows remains a challenge. We introduce BIOMERO, a bridge connecting OMERO, a renowned bioimaging data management platform, FAIR workflows and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. BIOMERO, featuring our opensource Python library "OMERO Slurm Client", facilitates seamless execution of FAIR workflows, particularly for large datasets from High Content or High Throughput Screening. BIOMERO empowers researchers by eliminating the need for specialized knowledge, enabling scalable image processing directly from OMERO. BIOMERO notably supports the sharing and utilization of FAIR workflows between OMERO, Cytomine/BIAFLOWS, and other bioimaging communities. BIOMERO will promote the widespread adoption of FAIR workflows, emphasizing reusability, across the realm of bioimaging research. Its user-friendly interface will empower users, including those without technical expertise, to seamlessly apply these workflows to their datasets, democratizing the utilization of AI by the broader research community.
