Collaborative Research: Center for Biophotonic Sensors and Systems

波士顿大学;托马斯比凡诺加州大学戴维斯分校;丹尼斯L.马修斯拟议的中心计划建立一个自然资源的生物光子传感器和传感器系统（CBSS），其中光子学提供了先进的方法，以检测/传感和识别生物特性，条件，或在分子和细胞/亚细胞水平的变化使能技术。研究工作将由波士顿大学光子中心作为牵头机构，与加州大学戴维斯分校生物光子科学与技术中心合作。BU和UC都有成熟的光子学研究中心，并在管理转化研究活动方面取得了成就。拟议的CBBS将建立在各自大学的研究人才和技术转让技能的基础上，以吸引工业合作伙伴，他们随后将在规划，选择和实施研究成果方面发挥重要作用。BU和UCD之间的合作将包括三个研究领域：体内平台传感，无标签传感和护理诊断点。该中心在开发用于细菌和病毒检测的光子方法方面的专业知识将增强现有的跨学科团队合作，并为传感器和传感器系统的开发奠定非常坚实的基础。行业的参与会提高学生的？教育经验，为有才华的工程师和科学家提供了一个管道，以行业。BU和UCD致力于开发在干领域代表性不足的群体的学术潜力。该中心的成功将使新的光子传感器技术能够改善公共医疗保健，食品和水安全以及国土安全。

Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Biophotonic Sensors and Sensor Systems 0855971 Boston University; Thomas Bifano 0856086 University of California-Davis; Dennis L. Matthews The proposed Center plans to establish a natural resource for Biophotonic Sensors and Sensor Systems (CBSS) where photonics provide the enabling technologies for advances in methods to detect/sense and identify biological properties, conditions, or changes at the molecular and cellular/sub-cellular level. The research efforts will be anchored by Boston University's Photonic Center as the lead institution, partnered with the University of California-Davis' Center for Biophotonic Science and Technology. Both BU and UC have mature photonics research Centers and a track record of achievement in managing translational research activities. The proposed CBBS will build on the respective University's research talent and technology transfer skills to attract industrial partners who will subsequently play a significant role in planning, selecting, and implementing the output of the research. The collaborative effort between BU and UCD will consist of three research areas: In vivo Platform Sensing, Label Free Sensing and Point of Care Diagnosis. The proposed Center's focused expertise in developing photonic methods for bacterial and viral detection will enhance the existing inter-disciplinary teamwork and enable an exceptionally strong foundation for Sensors and Sensor Systems development. The industry participation will enhance the students? educational experience by providing a pipeline for talented engineers and scientist to industry. BU and UCD are committed to developing the academic potential of under-represented groups in STEM fields. The success of the proposed Center will enable new photonics sensor technologies that can improve public healthcare, food and water safety, and homeland security.
