aignostics pioneers AI-based precision diagnostics for pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, and more.
Spin-Off
Project WebsiteHistological image analysis, performed by pathologists, is a crucial step in diagnosing many autoimmune, degenerative and infectious diseases. Given our aging population and the increase of cancer cases worldwide, a global shortage of pathologists is expected. To address this challenge, team aignostics has developed a patented “Explainable AI” (layer-wise relevance propagation) to assist pathologists in standardized and automated qualification and quantification of tissue features.

This solution is more accurate and faster than today’s manual gold standard. The system can also be applied to drug development. Pharmaceutical companies can augment histomorphological assessments in preclinical animal studies or in clinical trials to stratify patients in order to further improve drug efficacy and toxicity analyses. Prof. Federick Klauschen, Viktor Matyas, Dr. Maximilian Alber founded in cooperation with Prof. Klaus-Robert Müller, a globally renowned expert on machine learning from Technical University Berlin, aignostics in 2020.
The Berlin-based company is funded by Boehringer Ventures and HTGF and has over 100 employees with interdisciplinary expertise to date.
