AI and Robotics Uncover Hidden Signatures of Parkinson’s Disease

A study published in Nature Communications unveils a new platform for discovering cellular signatures of disease that integrates robotic systems for studying  patient cells with artificial intelligence methods for image analysis. Using their automated cell culture  platform, scientists at the NYSCF Research Institute collaborated with Google Research to  successfully identify new cellular hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease by creating and profiling over a  million images of skin cells from a cohort of 91 patients and healthy controls.
