Case Study: Imeka accelerates brain scan analysis with Seqera’s Nextflow

Imeka harnesses AI techniques and Nextflow from Seqera to gain insights from brain scans to help select treatments

Imeka, a biopharmaceutical research company in Sherbrooke, Quebec, needed a scalable way to automate diffusion MRI image analysis and GPU-based machine learning workflows. Working with Seqera, they looked for a solution that could support containerized applications, run on their on-premise cluster, and deliver highly reproducible, auditable pipelines for a regulated environment.

Seqera implemented Nextflow to orchestrate Imeka’s containerized pipelines for quality checks, image processing, statistical analysis, PyTorch model training, and inference. The result was increased productivity, simplified integration with existing tools, improved regulatory compliance through reproducibility and versioning, and higher-quality predictive models built from better-curated datasets.
