Market assessment of "molecular manipulation and nanoscopy platform"

Leslie教授开发了一种新颖的“分子操纵和纳米观察平台”，该平台能够实现广泛的分子过程的单分子可视化，并应用于材料科学、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产业合作伙伴关系。考虑到她的技术的各种可能性及其日益增长的商业化潜力，挑战是确定哪个市场和/或最终应用将具有最高的成功概率。 在调查市场潜力时，Frost、Sullivan和BCC Market等公司提供的现有市场报告虽然提供了对总体市场的出色分析并确定了主要竞争对手，但缺乏足够的粒度来得出新兴技术的市场潜力的结论。在这项拟议的市场评估中，我们将解决以下市场研究问题：1)Leslie的纳米显微镜和分子操纵技术组合以及DNA测序和生物标记物检测等每项特定应用技术的可定位市场总规模；2.)注重价格和可扩展性的竞争力分析；3)渠道对市场的分析。最终，拟议的市场评估将指导技术转移办公室和Leslie教授确定商业化战略，特别是是否追求许可模式或创建初创公司。

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.
