Technically assisted analysis of large quantities of numerical data in preclinical tumor research.

The joint research project ForSaTum aims at a faster realisation of novel concepts for preclinical cancer therapy. Cancer research requires extensive animal trials with large cohorts of e.g. mice. Therefore, large quantities of numerical data e.g from murine histology or from a multispectral fluorescence system are collected and have to be analysed. Currently, such analyses are performed manually and hence time consuming and prone to error. As a consequence, analysis tools are needed which ensure a reliable and fast analysis of the large quantities of numerical data. Reliability and efficency are achievable by supporting the researcher during the analysis workflow and automation of the calculations.
