Our Gram stain artificial intelligence platform was selected as a competitor in the 2018 Stat Madness Competition.

2/26/2018

Work from our laboratory was selected as a competitor in the 2018 Stat Madness Competition. This bracket style national competition will allow voters to choose among important medical innovations developed at selected medical centers and universities across the United States.  Our  artificial intelligence-based-platform named Technologist Assist allows automatic imaging and interpretation of Gram stain results and ultimately will provide assisted laboratory diagnostic capabilities at near or remote sites.

Please vote for our work at the Stat Madness website:  www.statnews.com/feature/stat-madness/bracket/

Spinning disc confocal microscopy image acquired by Lucius Chiaraviglio and presented at Lab Meeting this past Friday.  A single multiply infected macrophage is shown.  Red objects are individual Brucella neotomae bacteria. Green immunofluorescent staining lables LAMP-1, a marker of late endosomes and lysosomes.  Brucella traffics to LAMP-1 compartments early during infection.
