Deepcell

Under­standing the changing shapes of cells as they grow is one key to under­standing the biology of development and disease, but it’s hard to quantify morphology by eye. Deepcell’s benchtop microflu­idics technology dissociates, sorts, and images single cells. Then the company’s machine learning software identifies distin­guishing morphology, all without labeling or training. The resulting data opens the door for break­throughs in cancer research, cell therapy, and developmental biology.
