NanoLoci: Image analysis for early disease detection

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted that crisis preparedness requires disease detection methods that are quick, scalable, and economically viable.

Unfortunately, rapid tests are inaccurate for analyte concentrations, whereas more sophisticated techniques are expensive and time-consuming.

Nanostructured surfaces offer better sensitivity, but refined computational techniques are required to unlock the full potential in accurate and precise detection. We have created NanoLoci, an image analysis software, which can deliver consistent, optimized results for all end-users. By enabling non-expert users to harness the power of computational techniques and combining them with cutting-edge nanowire technology, lower concentrations of disease markers can be detected. With this technology, nanowire biosensors can be taken to the next level, making them accessible and relevant for potential applications in early and affordable disease diagnostics.

IVA’s 100 List 2023 - Technology in the service of humanity

IVA’s 100 List 2023 highlights a diverse range of research projects from Swedish universities, under the theme Technology in the Service of Humanity within in climate change, energy supply, welfare technology, cybersecurity and crisis preparedness. The projects have been selected based on their great potential to create value through commercialization, business and method development, or societal impact. All participating researchers are interested in increased contacts with the business sector for the application and further development of their projects.

Named contact persons for each research project on the 100 List are responsible for the accuracy of the information presented.
