Progress is being made. Twenty years back, I worked for a company that put a bunch of live cells into microtiter plates and use computer vision to see how they were responding to environmental stimulus. One of the contracts was with the military to detect battlefield biohazards. I've not been involved in some time, but I assume that this tech has progressed in the last twenty years.

- intrasight 8y ago>connect the multidisciplinary dots That's what I had done 20 years ago. So one reason that I returned to software after doing graduate work in neuroscience was the frustration of keeping cells alive while you poke at them. These titre plates full of thousands of different cells pose a problem orders of magnitude more challenging. Perhaps now it would be easier - engineer cells with the properties you need using CRISPR/Cas9.
