FUSION NAVIGATOR

Functional Unit State Identification for WSI INTEGRATING MOLECULAR AND STRUCTURAL OMICS FOR BIOLOGICAL DISCOVERY AND PRECISION MEDICINE

AI-driven visualization and quantification of spatial OMICS

WHAT IS FUSION

FUSION is an interactive interface to view spatial transcriptomics data integrated with histopathology. This is driven by artificial intelligence (AI). AI segments Functional Tissue Units (FTU) and links these with gene expression data that informs on major and minor healthy and injured cell types directly mapped on histological features on the FTUs in the WSI.

HOW FUSION WORKS

State of the art machine learning algorithms in a user-friendly data input interface

Highly interactive frontend design to drive hypothesis development and testing

Cloud-hosted data storage made possible through Digital Slide Archive (DSA)

We want people to test FUSION

Bring your own data!

FUSION TOOLS

FUSION-Tools is a modular toolkit designed for developers to create custom visualization and analysis dashboards for high-resolution microscopy images. It brings key FUSION functionality to locally stored whole slide images (WSIs), offering a powerful way to explore your data.
