Great news! Our team has won the Computable Award 2022 (the Digital Transformation category). Check here for all the final winners. 
Nomination information: Together with our collaborator, our team has developed software and a smart microscope to detect and isolate aggressive subpopulations of cancer cells and to determine the RNA sequence of those cells. As a result, potential new drugs for cancer may also come into the picture in the future. This is the reason for the jury of the Computable Awards 2022 to nominate our team in the Digital Transformation category. Please check our 2022 Nature Biomedical Engineering paper for more details.
