As necessity is the mother of invention, Krupic teamed up with other scientists to develop smart-Kage, a fully automated home-cage monitoring system for mice. The system includes behavioral and cognitive tests, such as a T-maze and novel object recognition, to assess hippocampus function.

Meet Cambridge Phenotyping, co-founded by SWC Senior Research Fellow Marius Bauza and former SWC Postdoctoral Fellow Julija Krupic. They’re developing fully automated systems to monitor cognitive and behavioural phenotypes in preclinical and foundational research. The...

Our Smart Kages are playing a vital role to enable the research ideas of the future.

The entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, regions in the brain’s medial temporal lobe, are the first to exhibit neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s. Work pioneered by Nobel Laureate Prof John O’Keefe (UK DRI Associate Member at UCL) has identified that neurons in these...

Cambridge Phenotyping was recently nominated and won the ‘Investment into Innovative Solutions’ award at the 15th annual European Sails 2023 event!

Cambridge Phenotyping presents a new fully automated AI-driven home-cage system for cognitive and behavioural phenotyping in mice. The system incorporates spontaneous alternation T-maze, novel-object recognition and object-in-place recognition tests combined with...
