The TROPHY project (funded by the European and Innovation Council under the Horizon Europe program in the PATHFINDEROPEN-01 call., grant no. is 101047137) aims to develop a novel label-free vibrational microscopy approach that can image molecular biomarkers with unprecedented speed and chemical selectivity for a rapid, precise, and non-biased tumor analysis. To this purpose, the TROPHY microscope will blend in a unique fashion elements of several microscopies developed in the past decades, namely photo-thermal infrared, Fourier transform infrared and Digital Holography Microscopy, bringing them to the unprecedented ultrafast timescale. It will also integrate Artificial Intelligence to produce fast results and assist in the tumour grading process even during surgery.
