- Caltech researchers developed CellSAM, an AI algorithm for cell segmentation in biological images.
- CellSAM can identify various cell types, locations, and interactions, aiding in applications like cancer research.
- Trained on hand-labeled biological images, it is freely available and aims to improve with more data.
- The tool enables large-scale biological analysis, making previously impractical insights accessible.
- Funding came from multiple foundations and programs, including the NIH and HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholars.
