Gladstone Institutes

Member of San Francisco’s Holographic Imaging Cytometry Center of Excellence

Gladstone Institutes, University of California in San Francisco (UCSF) and PHI jointly operate San Francisco’s Holographic Imaging Cytometry Center of Excellence. The Center’s activities focus on bringing the benefits of holographic cytometry and machine learning to the San Francisco research community, by providing education and technical support.

Gladstone Institutes is an independent, non-profit life science research organization located in the epicenter of biomedical and technological innovation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Gladstone has created a research model that disrupts how science is done, funds big ideas, and attracts the brightest minds.

The Gladstone Histology and Light Microscopy Core provides expert technical assistance, training, consultation and collaboration with all aspects of experimental design, sample preparation, image processing, and data analysis to scientists from Gladstone, UCSF, and the Bay Area scientific community. The Core is always looking for new imaging technology that can push the limits of research. HoloMonitor is used by a variety of users to answer a broad range of research questions.

HoloMonitor M4 enables our researchers to explore morphological and patho-physiological properties of various cell types in a volumetric (fast), label-free (minimally invasive to cells) and user-friendly (easy to handle) manner. We are excited for the research development and discovery opportunities HoloMonitor brings to the Gladstone Institutes, UCSF and Bay area research community.

The Partnerships

Lund University Banner

Lund University Cancer Centre

The early HoloMonitor development began at Lund University. The relationship between Lund University and PHI has since evolved into partnerships with several research groups.
Uppsala University banner

Uppsala University

Supported by PHI, scientists at Uppsala University apply state of the art artificial intelligence on its very source of inspiration — cell biology.
UCSF Banner

UCSF

University of California in San Francisco, Gladstone Institutes and PHI jointly operate San Francisco’s Holographic Imaging Cytometry Center of Excellence.
NIA Banner

National Institute on Aging

In pursuit of making novel research tools available to National Institute on Aging and the medical research community in general, NIA and PHI are collaborating to develop a fluorescence module to PHI’s HoloMonitor.

Huntsman Cancer Institute

Supported by PHI, Dr. Robert Judson-Torres and his team at Huntsman Cancer Institute aim to develop methods to quantify the phenomena known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Partnerships_PHI_Malmo_Hogskola

Malmö University

PHI and Malmö University have a long-standing collaboration, dating back to 2008. The collaboration has resulted in several peer reviewed publications and a doctoral thesis.
Northeastren University banner

Northeastern University

The joint program of excellence between Northeastern University and PHI began in late 2014. Since then HoloMonitor technology has rapidly established itself as a technology of choice for label-free kinetic cellular analysis.
