2022-21 Deep learning-powered in situ bioprocess monitoring with Raman spectroscopy

Project Description

  • Integrate a deep learning model with Raman spectral measurements to enable precise identification of cell culture conditions with minimal error
  • Create a spectral data collection of metabolites using Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)
  • Perform offline measurements using Raman fiber probe
  • Develop EfficientNet and ResNet-50 algorithms with transfer learning to identify and assess metabolites

How the Project may be Transformative and/or Benefit Society

  • SERS technology combined with deep learning-based regression models will permit highly sensitive and label-free multiplexed measurements in bioreactor media
  • Reduction of measurement time
  • Unique “representation learning” enables direct training of biological fingerprints from raw spectra
  • DL works well on noisy data obviating high thresholds on SNRs and, hence, reducing measurement times
  • Roadmap for designing SERS-active fiber probes that allow for in situ bioprocess monitoring with requiring additional sampling
