Our Brand Manager Colleen Coll spreads the word about our company’s mission to cure cancer, one color palette at a time. Thank you Indiana University of Pennsylvania Alumni Magazine for your support.
“Thank you Quantitative Imaging Systems (Qi), KDAB and nanoQuill for this wonderful opportunity. nanoQuill app coming soon!,” said Colleen.
Vernissage! The grand opening of Cellulacrum! L’arte imita la scienza in Bologna with Cellulacrum: Sacred Inner Landscapes exhibit and special presentation by Italian artist Elena Uliana, Qi’s Michel Nederlof and journalist Nicoletta Gandolfi.
This special 3-week exhibit brought hundreds of art lovers to view and awe the works of Uliana and Nederlof: Art imitating science.
This marriage of art and science materialized via a chance encounter in Berlin. Nederlof and Uliana met near a river bank where they discussed common aspects of their work: he goes deep into human tissues annotating cells with fluorescences while she goes deep into the human soul “surpassing those doors which separate the surface world.”
The Cellulacrum project displays images of human cells and tissues magnified under the microscope which show that there is a real world beyond the surface. “They want to communicate that there are real ‘landscapes’ of the soul, the inner landscapes of the exhibition’s title, similar in complexity to the environment that surrounds us, but very difficult to penetrate. To go beyond the surface, also suggested by the physicality of human cells reproduced on the canvas, it is enough to learn to listen, to want to know oneself better,” said Uliana.
Uliana and Nederlof are currently seeking opportunities to bring Cellulacrum to the U.S. and other countries.
Qi President and CTO Michel Nederlof addressed over 1,000 software developers and experts as the exclusive keynote speaker in biotech at the 14th annual Qt World Summit 2017 hosted by the Qt Company and sponsored by Qi partner KDAB on October 10 -12.
The summit was a gathering of business leaders, software developers, project managers and other influential members of the Qt global community to discuss latest trends, market opportunities, technological advancements and customer stories in the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) industry.
Among a wide variety of compelling topics, including augmented reality (AR) in autonomous vehicles and innovation in the gaming industry, Nederlof presented Qi’s unique QiTissue software and discussed how it can analyze and visualize large 3D images with hundreds of color channels that allow digital image analysis of tissue architecture – a tool that can unravel the mystery of solving cancer.
“We have spent a decade sequencing the human genome, what some may call a blueprint of life. But, as magnificent as it is to know all our genes, it is really just the beginning,” Nederlof explains. “We still need a map to figure how all the parts are connected, how they communicate and what goes wrong in
disease.”
Qi was also showcased at KDAB exhibit booth displaying a 3D rendering of cancer cell images developed by KDAB. Qt’s booth featured a short video promoting Qi’s partnership and projects with Oregon Health Sciences University’s (OHSU) Center for Spatial Systems Biomedicine cancer research lab and more visuals of QiTissue’s fluorescent cell imaging. Qt ended the keynote with a special behind the scenes interview with Nederlof discussing Qi’s and Qt’s partnership and projects.
