Tissue Informatics

Tissue Informatics was a biotechnology company specializing in digital pathology and tissue-based bioinformatics. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, the company developed automated imaging systems and software designed to quantify tissue morphology and molecular markers. Their platform aimed to standardize and digitize the traditionally qualitative field of pathology, providing high-throughput data for drug discovery and clinical research. The company's technology facilitated the identification of disease biomarkers and the assessment of drug toxicity and efficacy. Tissue Informatics was acquired by Ikonisys in 2004 to bolster its automated cell-based diagnostic offerings.
