About

BioMorph is a Cell Painting - Cell Health derived feature space designed to enhance the interpretability of cell morphological features. With a commitment to advancing the field of cell morphology analysis, this initiative curates a comprehensive re-organization of data that incorporates biological meaning to CellProfiler features.

Built on the Cell Painting dataset, the BioMorph dataset encompasses many biologically relevant profiles or features for 30,000+ compounds. The resource is publicly available to researchers to assess its performance as a feature space for machine learning models.
