SVision LLC Awarded Phase I SBIR Grant from NIH to develop Cell Motility Image Informatics
Research Grant Will Extend Flexible Recognition and Quantitative Analysis Capabilities to Support Cell Biology Research
SVision LLC, an image informatics company developing flexible microscopy image recognition and quantitative analysis software for life science applications, has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institute of Health (NIH).
The six month award for $100,000 will further support the Company’s program to develop and commercialize next generation live cell, time-lapse microscopy image recognition and quantitative analysis software, SVCell™, for accurate tracking and kinetic analyses of individual cell motility assays in time-lapse phase contrast images.
The collaborators of the project are Dr. Gary G. Borisy, past president of the American Society for Cell Biology, and Dr. Kristiana Kandere-Grzybowska, both at Northwestern University Medical School.
The NIH SBIR program is a peer-reviewed grant program that provides research support to small businesses to discover and develop innovative technologies and methodologies that have the potential for commercialization and public benefit.
