Market assessment of "molecular manipulation and nanoscopy platform"

莱斯利教授开发了一种新颖的“分子操作和纳米观察平台”，可以对广泛的分子过程进行单分子可视化，应用于材料科学、化学、纳米技术、医学和生物学。最近，她的研究和技术开发吸引了两家诊断公司的工业合作。鉴于其技术的各种可能性及其日益增长的商业化潜力，挑战在于确定哪个市场和/或最终应用将具有最大的成功可能性。

Professor Leslie has developed a novel "Molecular Manipulation and Nanoscopy Platform" which enables single-molecule visualization of a wide range of molecular processes, with applications to materials science, chemistry, nanotechnology, medicine, and biology. Recently, her research and technology development has attracted industrial partnership with two diagnostic companies. Given the range of possibilities of her technology and its growing commercialization potential, the challenge is to identify which market and/or end application would have the highest probability of success. In investigating the market potential, the available market reports by firms like Frost and Sullivan and BCC Market, while providing excellent analyses about the market in general and identifying the key competitors, do not have sufficient granularity to enable conclusions on market potential of emerging technologies. In this proposed market assessment, we would address the following market research questions: 1.) Total addressable market size for Leslie's nanoscopy and molecular manipulation technology portfolio and each of the application-specific technologies such as DNA sequencing and biomarker detection; 2.) Competitive analysis with a focus on price and scalability; 3.) Channel to market analysis. Ultimately the proposed market assessment will serve to guide the technology transfer office and Professor Leslie in determining the commercialization strategy, specifically whether to pursue a licensing model or creation of a startup.
