AI-driven ultrafast technology visually identifies cells without images

A team from a scientific start-up company and academic researchers has invented a new cell identification and sorting system called Ghost Cytometry. The system combines a novel imaging technique with artificial intelligence to identify and sort cells with unprecedented high-throughput speed. The scientists leading the project hope that their method will be used to identify and sort cancer cells circulating in patients’ blood, enable faster drug discovery, and improve the quality of cell-based medical therapies.
