Vancouver, Canada and Lausanne, Switzerland – June 17, 2025 – ViewsML, a techbio company specializing in AI-driven virtual staining and biomarkers for precision medicine and diagnostics, has announced a translational research agreement with Debiopharm, a Swiss-based biopharmaceutical company. This research aims to integrate ViewsML’s virtual antibody and immunohistochemistry (IHC) technology into Debiopharm’s drug development process to enhance biomarker detection and characterization, improving clinical trial patient selection and ultimately the development of precision medicines.
ViewsML’s innovative platform leverages deep learning algorithms to virtualize the antibody and IHC process, enabling rapid and precise prediction of biomarker expression at the cellular level – all from a single digital H&E image. This approach transforms a traditionally time-consuming procedure into one that delivers instant results, significantly reducing costs and preserving valuable tissue samples. The technology is adaptable across various types of biomarkers, therapeutic areas, and species, making it a versatile tool in both preclinical and clinical research settings. It is based on brightfield imaging and therefore fits within existing pathology workflows.
“Our collaboration with Debiopharm represents a significant milestone in our vision to transform precision medicine and diagnostics through our AI-driven virtual staining platform,” said Keith Jalbert, Chief Commercial Officer of ViewsML. “By virtualizing the antibody and IHC process, we can provide researchers with deeper insights, preserve precious tissue, reduce costs, and ultimately contribute to better patient outcomes.”
Debiopharm, known for its commitment to innovation in oncology and infectious diseases, sees this collaboration as a crucial step toward improving patient outcomes with innovative medicines. “Working with ViewsML allows us to integrate advanced AI solutions into our biomarker research, optimizing our ability to develop targeted therapeutics,” expressed Jeannette Fuchs, Scientist, Debiopharm.
