Basic Research

Definiens digital pathology image analysis solutions are designed for quantifying tissue image attributes in standard and confocal microscopy images, whole slide images, tissue microarray images, and coregistered images.

Whereas other technologies rely on a ‘grind and find’ approach for basic research tasks – which requires the destruction of valuable tissue samples – Definiens enables research pathologists to non-destructively collect tissue sample data for biomarker expression profiles, context, morphology, texture, spectral properties, and statistical properties. Virtually any region of interest can be investigated, ranging from tumor regions to individual cells right through to sub-cellular compartments. Even esoteric regions of interest can be detected, classified, and quantified thanks to the flexible design of Definiens Cognition Network Technology^®.

Definiens digital pathology image analysis solutions are currently being used for discovering new drug targets and disease-related biomarkers, as well as for the elucidation of signal transduction pathways in areas such as oncology, cardiology, and neurology.

• Discover new drug targets and disease-related biomarkers
• Elucidate signal transduction pathways
• Discover underlying biological mechanisms related to medical fields such as oncology, cardiovascular, neurosciences
