BRKR's Canopy Biosciences Partners With Enable Medicine
Bruker Corporation’s BRKR Canopy Biosciences recently entered into a partnership with the privately held biotech, Enable Medicine. Under the agreement, Enable Medicine’s advanced analysis pipelines for spatial omics data will be provided with the Canopy CellScape system for quantitative high-plex spatial biology.
The latest collaboration amplifies Canopy Biosciences’ high-plex, quantitative data analysis to provide its researchers with deeper biological insights.
Significance of the Collaboration
The partnership is likely to expand the analytic capabilities of the Canopy CellScape system, an end-to-end solution for highly multiplexed spatial omics. Enable Medicine’s advanced spatial analyses include cluster analysis, neighborhood analysis, advanced data visualization, efficient cloud-based computing, sharing, and data storage.
