bidac6

BIDAC is a Health Sciences Core facility providing advanced consulting services in AI, image analysis and computer vision to academic research groups and medical device startups. These application-oriented services leverage the expertise of the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute, and therefore complement existing core research facilities.
BIDAC provides resources to support activities likely to have a sustainable impact on Utah research technology: by enhancing Utah-centered research capabilities, fostering collaborative multidisciplinary activities and/or generating new pilot results for grant submissions. 

Do you wonder how novel AI solutions can solve or enhance your applications (via machine learning, deep learning or generative AI)? Does your group regularly use imaging equipment (e.g. microscope, scanner) without a proper solution for image analysis? Do you need quantitative results from biomedical images for your scientific papers or grant applications? Do you need automated or more robust solutions for your ever-increasing datasets? BIDAC is ready to help you succeed in your research endeavors.
