Nucleai Launches New Multiplex Imaging Spatial Analysis Solution to Increase Reliability and Speed of Immunofluorescence Analysis for Drug Discovery and Development
Tuesday, November 08, 2022
Nucleai, a leader in AI-powered spatial biology, today announced the expansion of its spatial biology platform to include a new generation of multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) analysis that uses deep learning to establish new levels of accuracy, speed, and generalizability, further unlocking the power of mIF data for drug discovery and development. Nucleai will present new data demonstrating the power of its new mIF pipeline to correlate spatial features with patient outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) conference in Boston this week.
While mIF is a powerful technology for cancer research, current tools for mIF image analysis are time-consuming, manual, and not robust enough to generalize across different platforms, markers and indications. Nucleai addresses these challenges, bringing 40% improvement in accuracy compared to other solutions, while also reducing mIF analysis time-to-results from months to only weeks. Nucleai’s mIF pipeline, built and trained on millions of annotations across different staining platforms, indications and markers, provides the most comprehensive mIF deep-learning based solution available on market today.
“Nucleai’s platform will revolutionize the reliability and speed of mIF analysis conducted by translational researchers,” said Dr. Ken Bloom, Head of Pathology at Nucleai. “Our deep learning approach will enable the standardization of mIF-based analysis and help establish multiplex as common practice throughout drug R&D.”
Nucleai’s cutting-edge AI spatial models, which are optimized for multiplex assays, derive new insights from tissue biopsies, including novel drug targets, mechanisms of action, and potential biomarkers to advance the field of precision medicine. The tumor microenvironment is a highly complex ecosystem, and spatial biology can be used to unlock the important relationships and interactions. The spatial analysis that run through Nucleai’s platform enables the discovery of novel tumor microenvironment cell patterns and signatures. The platform is agnostic to staining and scanning platforms and is currently available as a comprehensive service, providing fast turnaround times for large datasets of mid to high plex images.
