Business Wire
Ikonisys SA (Code ISIN: FR00140048X2 / Mnémonique:
ALIKO), a company specializing in the early and accurate detection
of cancer with a unique fully-automated solution for medical
diagnostic labs and the Department of Electronics, Information and
Bioengineering (DEIB) of Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), a
world-class scientific institution engaged in cutting-edge
research, training and technology transfer, announced the signing
of a research contract and the initiation of a project to bear on
the challenging problem of identifying specific cells in complex
tissues through designing, training and deployment of a deep
learning model able to detect them.
Prof. Giacomo Boracchi of the DEIB will lead the research
bringing his expertise in image processing and machine learning. In
particular, the approach will aim to recognize clinically relevant
cells of specific types in darkfield images of lung tissue acquired
from the Ikoniscope20. Segmentation of single cell nuclei is a
frequent challenge of microscopy image processing, often being the
first step of many quantitative data analysis pipelines.
The ongoing collaboration will allow Ikonisys to further enhance
its advanced image analysis capabilities and to accelerate the
development of the Ikoniscope AI project with the implementation of
deep learning models and novel state-of-art techniques into the
instrument’s workflow, leading to the development of new
applications or enhancement of the existing ones, especially in the
most challenging fields such as Circulating Tumor Cells.
