ITQB NOVA (Portugal) - Press Release: Researchers at ITQB NOVA have developed NanoPyx, an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes biomedical images up to 100 times faster than traditional methods. This breakthrough promises to transform scientific research and clinical diagnosis, with potential impact on the study of infections, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Based on machine learning, NanoPyx dynamically adapts to the characteristics of each image, reducing processing time from hours to minutes, without compromising accuracy. Furthermore, the tool could drive the development of smart microscopes capable of analyzing images in real-time, such as in the study of viral infections.

The project, published in Nature Methods, involved international collaboration and stands out for its applicability in both biomedical research and personalized medicine, enabling faster diagnoses and more effective treatments.
