Advancing ScienceThe speed of Software — The scale of Cloud

Bio-Nano Technology Research Group brings genetics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and robotics together to build scientific ventures. Cancer research is at the centre of that work: finding better ways to target, destroy and remove cancers, reduce the burden of treatment and shorten the path from discovery to use. The same technology also supports biomedical information, evidence analysis and open, repeatable science.

The four disciplines

One system for experimental science.

Genetics defines the biological question. Robotics performs repeatable work. Cameras and sensors record each run. Artificial intelligence and cloud computing compare the results across experiments, teams and sites.

Genetics

Genetics identifies the molecular differences between cancer cells and healthy cells, giving researchers specific changes to investigate and target.

02 · Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence compares results across large experimental datasets, finds patterns and helps researchers choose the next conditions to test.

Cloud computing

Cloud computing connects methods, instruments and results across research sites, so today’s output in Basel can become tomorrow’s input in Cambridge.

Robotics

Robotics repeats defined laboratory steps while cameras and sensors record measurements throughout the run, including observations that manual work would miss.
