Aiosyn, a pioneering medical software company specializing in AI-powered pathology solutions for cancer and kidney disease, announced the introduction of its NephroPath platform. By partnering with Aiosyn, CROs, biopharma, and researchers can accelerate the development of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) therapies using new and quantitative insights offered through Nephropath’s Kidney Image Analysis Services.

The NephroPath platform provides computational pathology algorithms for a detailed evaluation of histological biomarkers in kidney biopsies, including segmentation of main tissue classes, quantification of interstitial fibrosis, precise localization and quantification of glomeruli, and more. These AI-powered analyses effectively overcome the constraints of current semi-quantitative scoring systems, which are often based on subregions of the kidney and are subject to observer variability.
NephroPath’s AI-based quantification provides reproducible, consistent, fast, and more detailed scoring of renal pathology (imaging) biomarkers in preclinical and clinical specimens* compared to human reading. This can accelerate preclinical and clinical development projects. The algorithms will also be instrumental in new CKD biomarker discovery projects.
Through Nephropath’s Kidney Image Analysis Services, Aiosyn offers whole kidney quantification and custom kidney analyses. Aiosyn’s data-rich analysis derived from slide data provides per-slide tissue quantifications and detailed dataset characterization. Findings are delivered in a comprehensive image analysis report, including biomarker scores and visual results.
“Using Aiosyn's NephroPath platform we provide researchers with a new and powerful technique to complement the CKD drug development toolbox,” said Patrick de Boer, CEO of Aiosyn.
CKD is forecasted to grow to the fifth predominant cause of mortality by 2040 (1), and with over 90+ new CKD therapies in development, there is a need for advanced tools that can accelerate drug development and enhance diagnostic accuracy.
In a recent preclinical study, conducted in collaboration with a leading preclinical research organization (CRO), the NephroPath platform demonstrated its effectiveness in segmenting kidney tissue classes (Figure 1) and quantifying glomerulosclerosis and tubular damage on whole rat kidneys. A positive correlation was observed between the glomerulosclerosis and tubular scores and kidney damage across all groups (the study abstract will be presented at the upcoming CKD Summit in Boston from March 19-21).

Leo Cancer Care Raises $65M Series D to Scale Its Integrated Upright Cancer Care Platform8.7.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Oversubscribed round follows the world-first compact upright proton treatment at Stanford Medicine — funding a single upright platform that will span imaging and treatment across multiple radiation modalities. Leo Cancer Care, the medical technology company working to reinvent how patients are imaged and treated by designing systems around the body’s natural upright position, today announced the close of an oversubscribed $65 million Series D financing. The round was led by Silicon Valley’s Yu Galaxy and welcomes new investors including Eventide Asset Management, alongside continued support from the company’s existing investors. Leading cancer institutions are already adopting the upright approach. Stanford Medicine delivered the world’s first compact upright proton therapy treatment on 4 June 2026. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and McLaren Health Care are among the institutions bringing the upright platform into their programmes — adoption that spans world-leading academic centers and
