One platform from biological discovery to clinical readiness.

One platform carries a spatial biomarker from high-plex discovery to a test that runs on routine IHC: Decode for the discovery, Translate for the road to the clinic. The tests transform clinical practice. The platform is the factory that makes them. Now open to research partners who need the same engine.

Decode capabilities.

Your samples, any instrument.

From corrected pixels to patient stratification.

Preprocessing outputs

  • Illumination-corrected images Consistent image quality across the entire slide, with brightness variations automatically corrected.
  • Aligned multi-round stacks Images from every staining round are automatically aligned, so all signals line up accurately.
  • Single-cell segmentation masks Nuclear, cytoplasmic, and whole-cell boundary masks generated by deep-learning models.
  • Tissue classification maps Identify major tissue regions, enabling targeted analysis of biologically relevant areas.
  • Raw feature tables Per-cell morphology, staining intensities, spatial coordinates, and tissue topology features.

Transformed analytical data

  • Cell phenotype & cluster tables Resolve not just cell types, but the diverse states and phenotypes that drive tissue biology.
  • Patient or sample stratification Group patients or samples by shared spatial biology, revealing patterns linked to clinical and biological outcomes.
  • Interoperable exports Flexible exports formatted for your downstream stack.

Run Decode on your own dataset.

We are onboarding research partners who want to test the platform on real cohorts. No license fees, no commitment. You bring the data, we provide the compute and scientific support.

1

Send your raw data

Share your imaging data through a secure link or direct upload.

2

Pipelines are ready to run

Prebuilt workflows get you from data to results quickly, with only minimal configuration.

3

Explore & stratify

Explore cell phenotypes in context, and uncover biologically meaningful patient and sample subgroups.

Pilot slots are open for core facilities, academic centers and translational teams (Research Use Only).

Why choose Decode?

We built Decode to solve our own challenges in spatial biology, and we continue to use it to drive our research programs.

  • Built by scientists, supported by scientists The experts who developed the workflows help you get the most from your data.
  • Proven on our own science The same pipelines available in Decode carried our 650-patient head-and-neck study from raw data to publication.
  • Built on real cohorts We continuously develop and validate the platform using our own datasets, discoveries, and translational research programs.

Bring us your data. We'll show you what's possible.

The Decode early release is free to test. Thirty minutes is enough to get you set up, or to see whether your discovery has a route to the clinic.
