LCIB (Rutgers), UPENN, Bioimagene sign 3 year sponsored research agreement to develop prostate cancer diagnosis algorithms
The Laboratory for Computational Imaging and Bioinformatics (LCIB) at Rutgers, Hospital at University of Pennsylvania, and the Digital Pathology company, Bioimagene, have just signed a 3 year sponsored research and licensing agreement to develop digital pathology image analysis algorithms for detection and grading of prostate cancer. Under this 3 year research agreement, Bioimagene will support Rutgers (PI: Anant Madabhushi) and UPENN (PI's: Michael Feldman, John Tomaszewski) with a $300,000 grant. Further, Bioimagene will sponsor a visiting scientist at LCIB and pathology fellow at UPENN, in addition to providing a commercial whole slide digital scanner and computational servers to the two academic institutions. Under this agreement, Bioimagene will license digital pathology algorithms developed at Rutgers and UPENN (Inventors: Anant Madabhushi, Scott Doyle, John Tomaszewski, Michael Feldman) for use in their commercial whole slide digital pathology scanners. |
