Following Cytomine SA bankruptcy mid-2024, our ULiège team is working on the development of a new 2025 release of the Cytomine Community Edition through various ongoing research project fundings including EU IMI BigPicture (2021-2027) and Interreg DigiPathConnect (2024-2027). Cytomine CE 2025 will include a brand new App Engine to run dockerized AI models and various optimizations since the CE 2023 release.

Today is the kick-off meeting of the Interreg DigiPathConnect project to foster Cross-border collaboration for digital pathology and AI development. Our team will collaborate with teams from Hasselt, Maastricht, and Köln on software modules for data mining of digital pathology and mass spectrometry imaging data.

Since 2021, we are involved in the BigPicture EU IMI project (2021-2027) to establish a large database of millions of pathology images to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence in medicine. We extend Cytomine web software to be used as the main user interface to visualize and annotate images from the BigPicture repository.

We are involved in the COMULIS EU-funded COST network for (Correlated Multimodal Imaging in Life Sciences).

The NEUBIAS COST network WG5 choose the Cytomine software to develop its benchmarking platform (BIAFLOWS).

Grégoire, Christopher, and Renaud are now working for Cytomine.coop, a social cooperative to manage the open-source community and to provide services on top of Cytomine open-source software. Learn more about their services and their open company philosophy on Cytomine.coop.
