Translational alliance in biophotonics for cytometry

该项目将在研究转化中心——斯旺西大学纳米健康中心和格拉斯哥的弗劳恩霍夫应用光子学中心之间建立长期合作关系。这个转化联盟将为光子学研究概念和应用于医疗保健服务的设备提供商业化管道。该战略联盟将与目前由两个转化中心持有的重要工业合作伙伴组合联系起来，从而促进苏格兰光学业务集群与威尔士医疗部门公司基地之间的互动。该项目还将把与微激光系统细胞仪相关的基础研究成果转化为完全验证的商业原型系统。这将应用于基于细胞的诊断，如血细胞计数。

This project will establish a long term relationship between research translational centres - the Centre for Nanohealth at Swansea University and the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics in Glasgow. This translational alliance will provide a commercialisation pipeline for photonics research concepts and devices applied to healthcare delivery. The strategic alliance will link to the significant portfolios of industrial partners currently held by the two translational centres and in doing so boost interactions between the optics business cluster in Scotland and the medical sector company base in Wales. The project will also take basic research outputs relating to a micro-laser system cytometer to a fully validated commercial prototype system. This will have application in cell based diagnostics such as blood cell counts.
