UoL: New collaboration for software to enhance cellular studies
10:43 - 02 November 2023
University of Limassol (UoL) has announced its collaboration with the Research and Innovation Foundation of Cyprus on the innovative CONCEPT project “Analysis of Biological Optical Microscopy Time-Lapse Video Sequences of Cells in the Cloud (ABiOMiCeC)” under the RESTART 2016 – 2020 Programme.
Explaining why this is an important collaboration, UoL said that optical microscopy is crucial for advancements in biological studies, especially in areas like cancer treatments. However, the extensive data collected can be challenging to store and analyse. So it said the solution is a state-of-the-art software designed to automate this process, enhancing precision in cellular studies.
Key components of the project:
Automated analysis of cellular phase contrast data.
Features include cell division detection, cell migration tracking, and more.
Aims to aid studies for targeted chemotherapy drugs.
Cloud-based for easy and wide accessibility.
UoL professor Dr Stathis Hadjidemetriou will be leading the way and coordinating this transformative project, which officially launched on 1 November.
