Market research study proposal for an assessmsent of market opportunities for ''CellStick''

SFU的产业参与办公室帮助SFU创新者评估新技术和研究创新的专利性和市场潜力。我们的目标是为了我们的社区，社会和经济的利益转移这些知识。产业参与办公室的服务包括保密发明披露、技术评估、专利性审查、市场评估、知识产权保护和商业化援助。旧金山州立大学的盖茨研究小组专注于追求合成方法和化学工艺的发展，以制备各种功能材料，从纳米级到散装，用于各种应用。利用这些材料的潜力的一个关键组成部分是可控和可靠地调整其表面和界面化学的能力。盖茨研究小组正在进行一些分析研究，以促进我们对这些材料表面化学修饰的理解和控制。他们的研究和开发工作的一个关键属性是开发方法来改善可用的化学物质和实现这些表面改性的途径。该团队开发的一些技术已经证明了一个简单的过程来调整表面的化学性质，因为它与细胞粘附和增殖有关。为了保护知识产权，已经提交了两份与该技术相关的PCT申请。市场研究旨在帮助确定关键细分市场和关键人口统计数据以及潜在的可寻址市场规模。SFU的行业参与办公室已联系Adventus Research + Consulting，要求对一项名为“CellStick”的技术进行市场研究。

SFU's Industry Engagement Office helps SFU innovators assess the patentability and market potential of new technologies and research innovations. The goal is to transfer this knowledge for the benefit of our communities, society and the economy. The Industry Engagement Office's services include confidential invention disclosures, technology assessments, patentability reviews, market assessments, intellectual property protection, and commercialization assistance.The Gates Research Group at SFU focuses on pursuing the development of synthetic methods and chemical processes to prepare a variety of functional materials, from nanoscale to bulk, for a diverse range of applications. A critical component of harnessing the potential of these materials is the ability to controllably and reliably tune their surface and interfacial chemistries. The Gates Research Group is pursuing a number of analytical studies to advance our understanding and control of chemical modifications on the surfaces of these materials. A key attribute of their research and development efforts have been to develop methods to improve the chemistries available and routes to achieving these surface modifications. Some of the technology developed by this team has demonstrated a simple process to tune the chemistry of surfaces as it pertains to cell adhesion and proliferation. To protect the intellectual property, two PCT applications have been filed associated with this technology. A market study is sought to help identify key market segments and key demographics together with the potential addressable market size. SFU's Industry Engagement Office has contacted Adventus Research + Consulting to request a market study of a technology titled "CellStick".
