Industry: Bio-Pharmaceuticals.
Process: Image processing chain between microscope and Biologist annotation.
Key Benefits: automization and usage of grid computer power.

We has been participating to the BioEmergences European Research Project. It has developed an experimental platform to observe in vivo the emergent patterns on various scales and measure their variability between different individuals of the same species. This platform implements and monitors a workflow for transfering data from a microscope to the IN2P3 CERN data centre in Lyon where a sequence of heavy image data processing is implemented before being visualized on the platform.
Within this project, a SOA platform has been developed that allocates the image processing tasks on the EGEE computer grid and monitors their completions.
