Quantitative Digital Histology

Through a partnership with the University of Arizona Cancer Center the TBIR offers access to Definiens Tissue Studio 4.2 for biomarker and morphological profiling in histological images. Tissue Studio is an easy to use, robust, and powerful tool to automatically detect regions of interest based on user-defined criteria. It can distinguish cells and sub-cellular objects within target regions, and determine morphology and expression profiles per individual cell or cell compartment. It is compatible with brightfield or immunofluorescence images and whole tissue slides or tissue microarrays. Tissue Studio is compatible with most major file formats including Aperio (.svs), Hamamatsu (.ndpi), Leica (.scn), Roche Ventana (.bif), Zeiss (.czi), and TIFF.
