The Ohio State University has launched NanoInventio Inc., a new university startup formed to commercialize advanced technology in Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM), a powerful imaging approach used to study biological systems at the molecular level.
The technology was developed by Rengasayee (Sai) Veeraraghavan, professor in Ohio State’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, and gives scientists a clearer view of what is happening inside cells. That clearer view could accelerate the development of new therapies, improve disease detection and expand what is possible in biomedical research.
At the core of the innovation is a novel, hyperparameter-free clustering method based on Voronoi tessellation, designed to analyze high-dimensional biological data without the need for manual tuning. The approach allows researchers to spend less time managing data and more time focused on discovery, with potential applications in biomedical research, diagnostics, and data-driven life sciences.
"NanoInventio's technology is designed to provide scientists and engineers with easy and robust access to the nanoscale,” Verraghavan said. “Our very existence and our technologies are a response to the technical challenges we have faced in the course of our own biomedical research, we share our target market's pains and have built solutions to address them."
