Objective
BiQ-Cloud (Biomedical Image Quantification Cloud) is a groundbreaking cloud-based platform designed to revolutionize biomedical research by providing scalable, cost-effective, and cutting-edge image analysis tools. Current solutions are often either costly and outdated or require specialized IT skills, thereby limiting access for many users, including researchers, small and mid-sized companies, as well as large-scale organizations. BiQ-Cloud overcomes these barriers by offering a flexible platform that allows users to access the latest image analysis algorithms without purchasing expensive licenses or hardware. By leveraging cloud computing, our system provides on-demand access to powerful processing capabilities and state-of-the-art tools on a pay-per-use basis. Clients can securely upload data, which is processed by dynamically deployed Docker containers, ensuring continually up-to-date analysis capabilities with no complex installations. Our platform supports the rapid integration of new algorithms through an open API, thus fostering continuous innovation. It also leverages client-provided data to train AI models, further enhancing speed and accuracy over time. By democratizing access to advanced biomedical image analysis, BiQ-Cloud accelerates discoveries and improves drug development reliability.
The ERC PoC grant will enable us to advance BiQ-Cloud from a functional prototype into a market-ready product, unlocking its potential to transform biomedical research and become the leading platform for researchers and industry professionals worldwide.
