iLoF: AI-augmented photonics to identify and quantify disease biomarkers

Project description

A breakthrough disease screening platform for clinical trials

As Alzheimer’s disease is becoming increasingly widespread in Europe, posing a societal burden, scientists are seeking innovative treatments for this condition. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the iLoF project aims to address this challenge by developing a screening tool for Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials. The tool will use non-destructive laser beams to analyse biological samples and generate digital signals based on their light patterns. Specifically, the device will use an AI-powered platform to capture distinct patterns in liquid samples, enabling the creation of patient or disease signatures. The tool will be flexible and adaptable, capable of detecting changes, and not limited to a single use or disease.

Objective

iLoF is a digital health company pioneering a breakthrough AI-platform to accelerate the future of personalized drug discovery & development. Through advanced AI & photonics, we collect massive amounts of data to build a digital library of biomarkers & biological profiles, bringing together world-class physicists, biologists, & data scientists to get life-saving personalized treatments to patients faster. Our platform captures label-free patterns in biological liquid samples, to generate specific patient or disease signatures. The iLoF device generates multiple highly focused, non-destructive laser beams that interrogate the biological sample to obtain a digital signal of its light pattern. That signal is used to detect modifications providing a flexible & agnostic tool that is not limited to a single use or disease. The current project focuses on developing an Alzheimers disease (AD) clinical trial patient screening tool.
