Curing the Image Analysis Headache with Deep Learning

 

In this Technology Networks article, Molecular Devices image analysis software expert Misha Bashkurov, PhD, discusses how deep learning is revolutionizing the field of image analysis and addressing the challenges researchers face in optimizing analysis parameters.

 

Traditionally, adjusting parameters for accurate image analysis has been lengthy and frustrating. Deep learning algorithms offer a solution by learning from example images and automating the parameter-setting process, saving researchers time and effort.

    Scale-up 3D model drug screening using a robotic platform with xeno-free hydrogel

     

    Establishing 3D cellular models within a properly representative microenvironment is crucial for accurate drug screening and disease modeling. However, the culture process can be tedious, time-consuming, and difficult to reproduce. 

     

    Join Dr. John Huang from TheWell Bioscience and Dr. Krishna Macha as they discuss solutions to these challenges and share methods to scale up assay precision and throughput—giving you back more productive time in the lab. By combining an easy-to-use xeno-free functional hydrogel system with a robotic platform and high-content imaging, they’ve developed an automated 3D cell culture and screening workflow for high-throughput compound efficacy studies.

      Rapid Assessment of viability in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids

       

      Cancer cell lines grown in 2D have long served as experimental surrogates for cancers. In recent years, the 3D culture of cancer cells is enabling new models for cancer research that are considered more biologically relevant.

      In this scientific poster, we use patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids to assess differential effects of known anti-cancer compounds on organoid size and morphology using both imaging and a microplate reader-based viability readout. This streamlined readout may be used to guide identification of potential therapeutics early in the screening process, which could then be followed up with more intensive high content imaging or other analyses.
