Deepcell announced a research collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the development and adoption of advanced computer vision solutions in life sciences. Deepcell, which already uses the NVIDIA A4000 and NVIDIA AI technology, will incorporate NVIDIA AI into its single cell analysis technology, working collaboratively with NVIDIA to codevelop new uses for generative AI and multimodal applications in cell biology. The joint collaboration aims to advance understanding of cell morphology, and ultimately accelerate the use of AI-powered cellular analysis in cell biology and translational research across a broad swath of applications including cancer, stem cell, and cell therapy.

There are many potential applications of multimodal generative AI in life sciences. However, the development and successful deployment of such tools requires domain-specific expertise, and innovation to the underlying AI models to account for the particulars of the life science application. Deepcell, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is uniquely positioned to leverage its technological strengths, to provide AI models that optimally leverage architectures and algorithms along with multimodal and multiomic datasets, thereby enhancing the generation of novel biological insights.

Through this collaboration, Deepcell plans to apply NVIDIA's computing expertise and the NVIDIA Clara suite to codevelop novel algorithms for cell image analysis. NVIDIA Clara includes computing platforms, software, and services that power AI solutions for healthcare and life sciences, from medical imaging and instruments togenomics and drug discovery. This work will advance the use of cell-based imaging, with tools such as the DeepcellREM-I platform, to boost morpholomics discovery and its application across the life sciences.
