Following Cytomine SA bankruptcy mid-2024, our ULiège team continues the development of the free, open-source (Apache 2.0) Cytomine software through various ongoing research project fundings including EU IMI BigPicture (2021-2027) and Interreg DigiPathConnect (2024-2027). ULiège is also launching a community partnership model for institutions willing to support the project. Cytomine 2025 includes, among other things, a brand new App Engine to run dockerized AI models, a new deployment methodology using Docker Compose (for local deployment) or Kubernetes, and various optimizations since the previous Cytomine Community Edition 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).
