InvivoAX is an all-remote company founded to address the unmet need for an automated and unbiased approach to preclinical R&D non-destructive image analysis. Employees distributed across the U.S. interact daily with their teams and connect during annual in-person retreats. We welcome unsolicited job inquiries. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
ABOUT US
We believe the future should be seen, not just imagined
We aim to improve and accelerate preclinical imaging studies by providing automated image analysis and data prediction solutions.
1.0 IMAGING CAPABILITIES
Order from chaos
Unlock insights hidden deep within your image data. While traditional software restricts workflow by requiring an operator in the loop, InVivoAX elevates efficiency by placing the operator on the loop—transforming data management from a manual bottleneck into an automated, high-level oversight process.
2.0 AUTOMATED ANALYSIS
Unbiased, Predictive Insights
Eliminate human error and subjective variance. Our advanced automated analysis delivers objective data prediction, providing reproducible results and clear metrics you can trust for critical decision-making.
3.0 CLOUD-BASED ARCHITECTURE
Collaborative & Accessible
Break down data silos. Our secure, cloud-native platform ensures your team has instant access to powerful analytics anywhere in the world, fostering seamless collaboration and accelerating global research.
