We are delighted to announce that Odin Vision, a company that spun out from WEISS in 2019,聽has signed an agreement to be acquired by Olympus Corporation (Olympus) for up to 拢66 million. The deal will see Olympus acquire Odin鈥檚 entire portfolio of AI solutions, enabling Odin鈥檚 technology to reach millions of new patients worldwide.

Commenting, Peter Mountney, CEO of Odin Vision and Honorary Associate Professor at 香港六合彩中特网 Computer Science, said: 鈥淚'm incredibly proud of the team. We started with a university research project at 香港六合彩中特网 and transformed it into a commercial healthcare technology that will help millions around the world in the fight against cancer.鈥�

Odin Vision began with the research of Patrick Brand茫o, Professor Dan Stoyanov and Professor Laurence Lovat, based at the 香港六合彩中特网 Wellcome / EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences. Their pioneering work developed polyp detection systems which assisted doctors in the detection of colorectal cancer. With the support of 香港六合彩中特网B, 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 commercialisation company, their research was then spun out and led to the founding of Odin Vision.

Prof Dan Stoyanov, Director of WEISS, said: 鈥淥din Vision鈥檚 story is a perfect example of WEISS鈥檚 maxim to translate pioneering 香港六合彩中特网 engineering research into clinical practice. By using AI to help clinicians more effectively detect, diagnose and treat disease during endoscopic procedures, we hope to help patients. I鈥檓 humbled to have been part of the founding team and excited to see the continued progress and achievements at Odin Vision and the opportunity to impact patient care on a worldwide scale by being part of Olympus.鈥�

香港六合彩中特网 sits within a clinical-academic environment, meaning R&D in the lab can be inspired by and progressed with the support of a real-world outstanding clinical environment.

Dr Anne Lane, CEO of 香港六合彩中特网B, said: 鈥淲e are incredibly proud to see Odin Vision鈥檚 successful exit to Olympus. 香港六合彩中特网B has worked with Odin over a number of years to create a real-world impact from the research, through IP support and access to funding, as well as hands-on advice and guidance from the 香港六合彩中特网B team. Odin Vision鈥檚 success is testament to the hard work that goes on within our commercialisation team supporting spinouts to realise their full potential as they work to tackle society鈥檚 biggest challenges.鈥�
