Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include methods for implementing a predictive model that predicts pluripotency of cells through a cost efficient and non-destructive means. The predictive model analyzes contrast images captured from the cells and outputs predictions of cellular pluripotency at the cellular level. Thus, implementation of the predictive model guides the selection and isolation of cells that are predicted to be pluripotent. Furthermore, the predictive model facilitates retrospective analyses to correlate pluripotency metrics with differentiation success and further enables tracking of cellular pluripotency over time (e.g., to evaluate differentiation of cells).

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for more precisely identifying antibodies that may have a high affinity to an antigen. The techniques may be used in some embodiments for synthesizing entirely new antibodies for screening for affinity, and for more efficiently synthesizing and screening antibodies by identifying, prior to synthesis, antibodies that are predicted to have a high affinity to the antigen. In some embodiments, a machine learning engine is trained using affinity information indicating a variety of antibodies and affinity of those antibodies to an antigen. The machine learning engine may then be queried to identify an antibody predicted to have a high affinity for the antigen.
