The Collaborative Research Presentation by Sysmex Received the “Academic Encouragement Award (Best Presentation)” at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Japan Cytometry Society
Our presentation on collaborative research titled “Elucidating the Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Morphological Changes Detectable by AI-Driven Flow Cytometry in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells” received the Academic Encouragement Award (Best Presentation) at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Japan Cytometry Society.
| Title of the award: | Elucidating the Mechanisms of Mitochondrial Morphological Changes Detectable by AI-Driven Flow Cytometry in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells |
| Winners: | Kohjin Suzuki |

| Description of the invention: |
Our collaborative research focuses on the detection of leukemia cells using "Ghost Cytometry," an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven flow cytometry, with the aim of achieving early diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In this presentation, we reported that the BCR::ABL1 gene, which is responsible for CML, induces morphological changes in mitochondria, one of the intracellular organelles. Furthermore, we elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes. We demonstrated the potential of Ghost Cytometry to accurately distinguish CML cells by capturing such subtle cellular biological changes using AI. |
