Planning grant: I/UCRC for Biophotonic Sensors and Systems, New Site

普渡大学计划加入I/UCRC生物光子传感器和系统（CBSS）作为一个新的大学网站。CBSS的目标是建立一个国家卓越中心，在生物光子传感器和系统研究，培养胚胎生物传感器应用，开发改进技术转让的方法，并培养一批熟练的工程师和科学家在这一领域工作。最终，CBSS打算为疾病诊断、患者监测、药物疗效测试和改善食品和水安全提供解决方案。普渡大学将扩大企业联系的范围，并带来令人兴奋的补充研究领域，以支持CBSS使命。 普渡大学团队将提供的研究课题包括：压缩光学成像，流式细胞术，非线性光学显微镜，单细胞检测，3D组织的生物动力学成像和护理点医疗设备。这些研究课题完全符合CBSS当前的研究重点和成像、生物分析和诊断领域的路线图。普渡研究中心主任（程继新博士）与包括奥林巴斯和徕卡在内的行业有着广泛的联系，这些公司都提供基于他的发明的产品组合。打算参加规划会议的公司包括约翰逊约翰逊、海洋光学和滨江研究等公司，它们正致力于成为正式会员。

Purdue University is planning to join the I/UCRC on Biophotonic Sensors and Systems (CBSS) as a new university site. CBSS has a goal to establish a national center of excellence in biophotonic sensor and system research, cultivate embryonic biosensor applications, develop methods for improved technology transfer and train a pipeline of skilled engineers and scientist to work in this field. Ultimately, CBSS intends to provide solutions for disease diagnosis, patient monitoring, drug efficacy testing and improved food and water safety. Purdue will expand the scope of corporate connections and brings exciting complementary areas of research to support the CBSS mission. The Purdue team will offer research topics including: compressive optical imaging, flow cytometry, nonlinear optical microscopy, single cell detection, biodynamic imaging of 3D tissues, and point of care medical devices. These research topics fit perfectly with the current CBSS research thrusts and roadmap areas of Imaging, Bioanalytics and Diagnositcs.The Purdue Site Director (Dr. Ji-Xin Cheng) has extensive connections in industry that include Olympus and Leica, which offer products in their portfolios based on his inventions. Companies that intend to participate in the planning meeting include companies such as Johnson & Johnson,Ocean Optics and Riverside Research, which are committing to full membership.
