Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (CRi) announced today that the technology of multispectral imaging was ranked as a Top Ten Medical Innovation at Cleveland Clinic’s 6th Annual Medical Innovations Summit.

During the recognition presentation, Dr. Jennifer Hunt, head of surgical pathology at the Cleveland Clinic stated, “When we’re talking about tumors, we’re talking about what information can we gain about that tumor to guide and direct therapy, prognosis, diagnostics. We believe this technology to be a game changer. It will take personalized medicine to an entirely new level. This is not a step, but a leap. Being able to analyze multiple markers in a single cell to understand the behavior of actual signaling pathways will significantly aid in disease diagnosis and therapy development.” Dr. Hunt went on to add, “I expect that this technology will be rapidly adopted across the field of pathology.”

Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.

HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.

Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.
