About us

Applying AI and imaging across the life sciences.

TEK Optima Research is a UK-based technology company applying bespoke neural networks, imaging and data management to the biotech industry. We design the technology, and work with partners to bring it to market.

Cells imaged for analysis

Our approach

Cell line development still leans on slow, subjective manual analysis. We build the computer-vision models, image-processing pipelines and data platforms that make those steps faster, more consistent and easier to trust.

Our imaging and recognition software is already in market as DeepInsight®, a cellular imaging platform for cell line development. Beyond the product we take on bespoke AI and software engagements, and collaborate with partners on joint development.
